Poll: After last night's drama at Lansdowne, what do you expect to happen now?

Next stop, Warsaw.

AND…. BREATHE! IRELAND head to Warsaw this weekend knowing automatic qualification is in their hands.

Last night’s famous win over world champions Germany means Martin O’Neill’s side are one point of the top of the pool and level with Poland.

Despite losing in Dublin, Germany need just a point against Georgia to confirm their automatic qualification, while three points would guarantee them first spot.

The second-place automatic qualifying spot is likely to be between Poland and the Boys in Green. A win or a low-scoring draw would be good enough for the Poles to progress at Ireland’s expense.

A win or 2-2 draw or higher would see us through.

How do you see this one playing out?
