New Zealand enter the field with the lights off - what is that about - as do Scotland! Murrayfield is obviously expected a Zepplin attack as they have search-lights everywhere! There is a minutes silence to for the armed forces. The lights are still off - this is really surreal - The anthems are being played in the dark - at last the lights are coming on....Its a packed stadium with a really good rendition of Flower of Scotland....
