Trapattoni: We have played well in the past

Giovanni Trapattoni has insisted victory is all that matters for the Republic of Ireland in tonight's World Cup qualifier against Austria.

Ireland's away form has been exemplary under the 74-year-old Italian - they are yet to lose a qualifier on the road during his reign to date - but they have struggled to turn the dogged resilience which has served them so well on their travels into expansive football at the Aviva Stadium.
