– Paul Dollery and Eoin Lúc Ó Ceallaigh report from Cardiff
THE BIG DAY has arrived and the Irish are out in force.

However, a walk around the Welsh capital today will tell you that a much greater number than that have made the trip for this crucial game.
As we found out earlier on, confidence is high that Martin O’Neill’s side can emerge victorious.
Kick-off tonight at the Cardiff City Stadium is at 7.45pm.
