“We’ve viewed it as a last 16, we’ve spoken about it and that’s why it’s important we got our preparation right.Ireland's James Lowe: “Obviously it does give us confidence in what we’ve done over the last three to four years in terms of what we’ve built,” said the 31-year-old. Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend: “We feel Ali is in the best form of the three nines,” said Townsend, addressing the most notable call from his team selection on Thursday.“He was excellent over in Saint-Etienne , he was very good off the bench against South Africa and we saw what he’d been doing in training during that Romanian game.
