Scotland coach Steve McCormack is not reading too much into the Bravehearts' last match against New Zealand, as they prepare to face off again in Christchurch on Saturday.
Scotland shocked the rugby league world last time they faced the Kiwis, emerging with an 18-18 draw during the Four Nations on a wet November night in Workington.
But only 10 players who featured in that match were selected in McCormack's World Cup squad, with several high profile players missing from action.
Speaking to the media ahead of the highly anticipated clash, McCormack said this was a new side that was out to create their own slice of history.
"That was 12 months ago and this is a different team," said McCormack.
"It's a younger team, and there are seven or eight players who played in that game won't be playing against the Kiwis.
"But we need the same determination, the same resilience, the same skills that we showed on that night in Workington."
In their World Cup opener, Scotland felt the full force of a star-studded Tonga team and were thumped 50-4 in Cairns.
It was a disappointing start to the campaign for the Bravehearts, but they insist they have learnt from the mistakes they made last week.
"It was pretty tough, but when you come off the back of scoreline like that, it's not fantastic, but we have a bunch of resilient players and in the second half we aimed up.
"We are not here to be respectable - we want to do well and win, and that is the bottom line.
"We just need to put in a better performance than we did last week and who knows, New Zealand might have an off day. If that happens, we need to take our chances.
"We are not here to finish fourth in the pool - we are here to get a quarter-finals spot."
The Kiwis have made seven changes to their side for this match, which sees Te Maire Martin make his first start alongside Shaun Johnson in the halves, while Jason Nightingale, Peta Hiku, Dean Whare and Elijah Taylor all come into the starting side.
McCormack knows it doesn't matter who the Kiwis put out on the field, they will be tough to beat and they need to play their hearts out, if they want to claim their first win over New Zealand.
"Whatever players and personnel David puts into that Kiwis team, it is a world-class team, so we are more contracting on ourselves.
"The New Zealand team is superb. We have made some changes ourselves and we have a very inexperienced team in a way.
"A couple of our lads will be making their debuts this weekend and we're looking forward to see how they go."
