Ashman dropped a hat-trick for Scotland, absolutely unreal, and it’s got New Zealand’s lead shrinking fast. This isn’t just any match, folks. Scotland has been trying to beat the All Blacks for a mind-boggling 34 attempts. Thirty-four! And right now, Ashman is out there trying to make history.
Early on, it felt like business as usual for New Zealand when Sititi snagged an early try. But Ashman quickly said, “Not today,” with a reply of his own. The All Blacks, though, aren’t easy to shake off. De Groot and Taylor piled on more tries to pull them back in front. But then, Ashman struck again, proving this guy is just built different. New Zealand kept scoring, Barrett raced clear for what was their sixth try in a half-hour span, which is insane, but they also racked up two first-half yellow cards. That kind of undisciplined play? You love to see it when you’re fighting back. Scotland is hanging tough, cutting down that lead, and you can feel the tension building. This one is far from over.
