Rhian Wilkinson braced to battle for 'legacy' as Wales head to Ireland

 "There's nothing that will be given to us, and we will receive nothing for free. When you have opponents like that, you always have to prepare for more than 90 minutes, and potentially the eventuality of penalties."

Wales head coach Rhian Wilkinson is expecting no gifts from the Republic of Ireland in their winner-takes-all play-off to determine who books a trip to next summer's Euros.

Both teams are hoping to qualify for the European Championships for the first time, and it has all come down tonight's encounter in front of an expected 25,000 fans at Aviva Stadium.
