Captain Greig Laidlaw insists the mighty All Blacks can be made to look ordinary - but only if Scotland execute their game plan perfectly.

No Dark Blues side has ever beaten the New Zealanders - a run of failure stretching back 29 tests and 109 years.

But the Gloucester scrum-half believes the world champions can be toppled at Murrayfield.

Laidlaw has taken heart from the mistakes which marred New Zealand's firs-half display in their 24-21 victory over England at Twickenham last weekend.

And he has urged his side to put the All Blacks under similar pressure in Edinburgh on Saturday.

He said: "England put a lot of good line-speed on New Zealand in their defence and it showed the All Blacks can come up with errors just like everybody else. They are not superhuman.

"Having said that, they came back with a great second half and it was a good victory for them.

"We know how hard it is to go to Twickenham and win. We are under no illusions. But we had a look at the tapes and come up with some things that can help us.

"We are going to have to be at 100% to come anywhere close to winning. We have to be ready for whatever is thrown at us.

"But we have to be ready to have a go at them as well. We have to try and put the All Blacks under pressure when we can."

The Scots will march into their second autumn test in buoyant mood following last weekend's 41-31 win over Argentina.

Five tries on Vern Cotter's home debut highlighted the new expansive style the new coach is trying to implement.

Laidlaw himself looked a different player to the one who plodded through the RBS Six Nations earlier this year. With orders to move the ball quicker from the breakdown, the former Edinburgh No.9 was the architect of two scores and added 14 points with the boot.

"It was up there with my best performances in a Scotland jersey," said the skipper - handed the honour again this weekend. "I was happy with how we all played.

"We were a bit disappointed with some of the tries we conceded but we scored 41 points and some nice tries and overall we were in control of the game.

"Vern has given us the confidence to go and play. It is credit to him and his coaching staff for putting that performance together.

"But we have got our feet firmly fixed on the ground. We were happy with the win over Argentina but it will be a different test altogether against the All Blacks."

Sean Maitland and Blair Cowan, who were born in New Zealand, are expected to be in Scotland's team to face their countrymen.

But Laidlaw insisted: "I've got no worries about that. They will be focused on pulling on that Scotland jersey and wearing it with pride and passion."
