Prop Dave Kilcoyne believes Ireland\u2019s players are \u201cfrothing at the mouth\u201d to face Scotland and insists there is no sense of self-satisfaction following a euphoric win over South Africa.<\/p>\n

Andy Farrell\u2019s men underlined their status as Test rugby\u2019s top-ranked nation by defeating the reigning champions 13-8 last weekend in Paris.<\/p>\n

But progression to the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals is not yet assured moving towards next Saturday\u2019s return to Stade de France for a pivotal showdown with the Scots.<\/p>\n

Munster loosehead Kilcoyne believes a memorable evening against the Springboks was \u201cparked\u201d during some well-earned time off as attention quickly shifted to the team\u2019s final Pool B fixture.<\/p>\n

\u201cLads went away and spent a bit of downtime and were itching to get back in, bouncing, and it\u2019s all eyes on Scotland now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat game is parked, we\u2019ve a couple of massive learnings from it and we definitely won\u2019t be falling in love with ourselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cPaulie (forwards coach Paul O\u2019Connell) had a few tips for us in areas we were deficient in and we were out there (in training) making sure we had them right for Scotland.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a competition like this you\u2019ve got to keep learning with every game and you\u2019ve got to keep getting better.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext week poses a massive challenge to us again so we\u2019ve got to prepare as best we can for that.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone\u2019s frothing at the mouth to be involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kilcoyne is enjoying his second World Cup, having overcome the scare of suffering a hamstring tear during last month\u2019s training camp in Portugal.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old remained in the French capital with other members of the squad to enjoy a couple of days off after the South Africa match before travelling back to camp in Tours ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n

Kilcoyne feels the current Ireland setup is the best he has been involved in and praised the impact of head coach Andy Farrell.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m loving it over here, you read people writing about the incredible environment Faz (Farrell) has created for the players,\u201d said Kilcoyne.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I don\u2019t say it for the sake of saying it, but I think his emotional intelligence is through the roof.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou look at that South Africa game, such a big occasion physically and mentally fatiguing and to have the foresight to give the lads two days\u2019 break, he probably knew how mentally and physically fatiguing that game was going to be for the whole country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to be saying about other coaching environments but this is definitely the best Ireland environment I\u2019ve ever been involved in since I\u2019ve been playing, 100 per cent.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen there\u2019s great camaraderie in the squad, you love being around it.\u201d<\/p>\n
