Ireland are nowhere near being invincible and won't let complacency creep into their game against Scotland, insists James Lowe.

The New Zealand-born wing is certainly one of the more entertaining speakers among the Irish squad - at least when it comes to addressing a room full of reporters - and he was hitting all the right notes on the eve of Saturday's crucial Pool B clash with the Scots as both teams aim to secure World Cup knockout rugby.
"Six-two split on the bench. They've got a lot of forwards, impact players that are also able to change a match so we need to make sure we match them there as well."'Ireland are on a good run but Scotland will end it' Permutations play a part in that, naturally. Scotland would ideally like a win while denying Ireland a bonus point.
"We know what works, but like I said earlier, even in wins there are things to learn. Invincible? I wouldn't go anywhere near that word. Complacency is something that can't creep into this group as well. There was also a bit of fun around Beirne's last-minute call-up to replace Andrew Porter in front of the media, while Fogarty prompted the biggest laughs when he joked that some of Ireland's players had their own way of dealing with bedbugs.
