It would be premature to say that the next week will show us exactly what a Heimir Hallgrimsson Republic of Ireland team looks like, but the new manager has gone some way towards moulding the Boys in Green in his own image.

The squad named on Thursday for next week’s Nations League window and away games in Finland and Greece presented us with half-a-dozen new faces when compared to last month’s gathering and with another six sitting this one out.
