Richie McCaw and Mils Muliaina will equal the All Blacks record for most international caps when they face Scotland on Saturday in a team that shows four changes from the side that defeated England 26-16 at Twickenham last Saturday.

McCaw and Muliaina will be keen to keep New Zealand's unbeaten record against Scotland intact as they match the achievement of former captain Sean Fitzpatrick at Murrayfield.

"I couldn't think of two better people than Richie and Mils to beat my record," said Fitzpatrick. "They are outstanding All Blacks, good leaders of men and for me it's an honour to pass the baton on to those two."

"Richie is just leading by example, with the way he has captained the team this year ... while Mils is a very, very special talent and very down to earth," the 1987 World Cup winner added.
