Leinster wing Lowe, who has already helped Ireland overcome Romania, Tonga and South Africa, is taking nothing for granted. “We understand the serious threats and we’ve respected every opposition that we’ve played so far in this competition. “Look, Scotland are an amazing team who have definitely pushed us,” said New Zealand-born Lowe. You respect them because you really, really don’t want to lose. Ireland have so far been unaffected, with scrum coach John Fogarty joking that certain members of the squad have a built-in repellent.
