Bale and Ramsey collide and knock each other out, on comes Ben Woodburn and Harry Wilson who combine to score the winner in the 93rd minute.

Georgia take an early lead agianst Serbia. Great news for Ireland and Wales.

I'm going for a 2-1 win for the Green
Yuup
McClean to score screamer

Wales only really have one player to worry about and we all know who that is. I'd be quite worried about what he can do up against our defence.

Or just sees that we have a weak bench and wants someone with experience like McGeady to be able to bring on for the last 20mins. Every other attacking player bar Doyle must only have a hand full of caps between them.

Richard Hillman

Ireland 5-0 Wales



Wales to give up on International Football after the game and do what they do with the English cricket team of being in the small print of the name, despite producing no players.

johnnyryan89

My prediction is 3-1 to Ireland. Walters x2 and McClean.

Are Wales playing three at the back or four?

Mr.Crinklewood

Neither team using Bus Eireann

spock.

Have a good feeling about this one.
Ireland 2-1 Wales
(Hendrick 17' McLean 66' Ramsey 80')

Its funny how much criticism our best midfielder gets. McCarthy or Whelan, Whelan should never be picked over McCarthy, but RTE seem to think McCarthy is our weak link :pac:

"I fear for us tonight and I'm normally very optimistic." We're getting some of that Dunphy gold tonight.

Now Maloney is implying that Bale is Voldemort, it's gotten strange on RTE.
