The Kiwis are anxious they dont became the latest victims in a worldwide surge of sporting and political upsets.Heavily favoured to beat winless Scotland in their Four Nations Test in Workington on Friday, New Zealand are taking nothing for granted.A win by 42 points would guarantee a place in next weeks final in Liverpool, regardless of the result of the match between England and Australia on Sunday.However, players and management alike insist that isnt part of their thinking.Scotland were outclassed 54-12 by the Kangaroos but scored the first two tries in an improved 38-12 loss to England last week.Assistant coach Justin Morgan pointed to upsets that have dotted the headlines in 2016, most recently the All Blacks historic loss to Ireland last week followed by Donald Trumps ascension to the US presidency.On paper we look like a stronger rugby league team but we certainly dont want to add to the upsets that have been happening this year, with the US election, the Premier League (won by Leicester City) over here and Western Bulldogs winning the AFL, Australian Morgan said.We want to make sure the favourites get through on Friday night.Winning is the number one priority, everything else takes care of itself.A win by less than 30 points will leave New Zealand prone to missing out on the final if England upset Australia at Londons Olympic Stadium. In that situation, a big English win would be New Zealands only lifeline, eliminating Australia.Morgan said a Kiwis side featuring four uncapped players, including starting winger David Fusitua, had a short-term focus only.There has been no talk about points differential. Scotland are a good side and theyve built over the tournament.Anyone who saw the first 25 minutes of their game against England will certainly say Scotland were the better side. Air Force 270 Femme .
