Bundee Aki has been one of Ireland's top performers in this Guinness Six Nations but the Connacht centre wants to share the attention around.
The 33-year-old was outstanding at the Rugby World Cup, with his five tries in five games leading him to a World Rugby player of the year nomination.
He hasn't been able to bring that try-scoring form into the Six Nations, but he's been no less effective, with his centre partnership with Robbie Henshaw a key part of this Irish team looking to retain their championship title this evening.
And the Connacht centre says whether he's played alongside Henshaw, Garry Ringrose or Stuart McCloskey, his midfield partners have always made him a better player.
"It's not really an individual sort of thing," Aki says.
"People around me make me look good, you know what I mean? It’s my team-mates around me make everything look a lot easier, so I’m just there to make sure that I do my job properly, as well as helping out the other players. Guys are just making myself look good.
"I know individual accolades, individual recognition is good but it's a team sport. I know it’s a cliche saying that, but it is a team sport. It’s how guys make you feel, it’s how guys make you look."
The 55-cap international is bashful upon receiving praise, but it quick to lavish it upon his team-mates, particularly towards his former Connacht partner Henshaw, who has come back into form after a year which had been punctuated by frustrating injuries.
"He has been unbelievable hasn't he? Robbie has always been class," said the New Zealand native.
"You know he has always been unlucky with a few injuries here and there, but if the guy gets to roll on and starts playing week in and week out, or even coming back from an injury, I genuinely believe he is the best number 12 in the world, the way he has been playing week on week.
"Even at the moment I think he is [the best]."
Centre has been an area of great depth for Ireland in recent seasons, and even became a talking point this week after Munster's Antoine Frisch was called up by France.
And Aki says that competition is bringing out the best in each other.
"When they are that good you have just got to make sure you bring your game back up," he adds.
"It is very healthy for us as a group to be on your toes and just making sure you are getting better every week.
"Even 'Big Stu' [Stuart McCloskey], who is literally coming back, he is playing unbelievably well when he gets a chance, and he is growing as a player, and we are just getting better as a group.
"Whoever it is and whoever puts the jersey on, we have confidence in that individual because we know how good they are.
"The more you play and the more you see the game, because you have been in that situation before, you obviously can understand it more when things are happening or it is unfolding, you can interpret it.
"But then the work that you do as a group, and as a team, put in during the week and on video in different scenarios arises so that we know what we are doing as a group."
Last week's defeat to England puts the pressure on Ireland.
A draw or a win against Scotland will see them retain their title, but should they lose to Gregor Townsend's side, it will give them a nervous wait until around 10pm to see if they have held on to become champions.
The tone for their 23-22 loss at Twickenham was set when they gave up a try inside five minutes, and Aki (above) says they need to come out of the blocks faster at home today.
He said: "In every Test match you want to go out and start well. It's the same as the opposition team as well. They are going out to implement their plan.
"It’s how we as a group can be composed It’s not about how good are we to be able to think about what’s next.
"Scotland are a great team. We are not going there thinking it’s going to be an easy day for us. Whatever we know, Scotland is a great team.
"They have a lot of attacking flair there, a lot of power. So it’s just about us making sure we are across our plan and try to implement it."
