Robbie Keane to talk up forward line

Robbie Keane is confident that Ireland are heading for the Euro 2012 finals with a stronger pool of strikers than they had for the 2002 World Cup.

Keane, the nation’s record goalscorer with 53, will lead the line once again in Poland and Ukraine, but Kevin Doyle, who has got the nod for tomorrow’s friendly against Bosnia, Shane Long, Jon Walters and Simon Cox are battling for the right to partner him.
