We were in bits.

During last year’s Late Late Toy Show, there was one particularly heartwarming moment that tugged on viewers’ heartstrings: when Ryan introduced cousins Scott and Grace Lowe.

Grace suffered from leukemia and Scott donated bone marrow to his cousin. After they told their heartbreaking story, the family were gifted with a trip to Orlando and invited to the Aviva to watch the team train, which finally happened.

Scott’s dream came true this week as got to watch the Irish rugby team train in the Aviva on Saturday with his family.

Speaking to RTÉ News, Grace’s mother, Bernie said: “Yeah, he’s thrilled. This is his dream. He loves rugby, and this is his dream. He deserves it, he’s amazing,” while Scott added that it was “cool.”

We’re delighted for him.
