David Ferguson of The Scotsman talks to one of the most important - but least known - figures in Scottish Rugby.
"Scotland's World Cup campaign moves into second gear next week with the first EMC warm-up Test against Ireland, Glasgow and Edinburgh are moving from army camps to game tactics and clubs across the country are putting the finishing touches to their squads for critical championships ahead of the league revamp.
"All will develop in virtual isolation, but one man watching each tier of the Scottish game is Graham Lowe. His name is one of the lesser-known in Scottish rugby. It should be one of the most well-known.
"Gordon McKie, the former SRU Chief Executive, stubbornly refused to appoint any form of rugby director in his first four years at the SRU helm, and when he did give in to a groundswell of opinion that Scottish rugby needed an individual wholly responsible on the board for, ahem, rugby, he gave it the "head of performance rugby" title, and appointed New Zealander Lowe."
