Scott's mum, Arlene, explained that the pair are "best friends" as she spoke about how he found out he was a match.
She explained:
"They're double cousins, so they don't normally test other members of the family. Bern. Grace's other siblings weren't a match."Ryan brought out the pair of cousins, where he spoke to Scott about how he felt about undergoing the treatment.

The eight-year-old said:
"I wanted to save her life. "I was scared going in for an operation. I felt really happy (that I saved her life)."[caption id="attachment_438718" align="alignnone" width="3866"]

And then the young tubby fan was surprised by Rob Kearney, Sean O'Brien and Tadhg Furlong - who came bearing gifts for Scott.
Rob told the young boy:
"This is a real life hero right here. What you have done, you are the real hero. We are really proud of you."The Irish rugby team also gave him and Grace tickets to their Six Nations game against France. Scott was also invited to an exclusive training session, and given an Irish jersey signed by the team.
