I heard over the weekend that the Republic of Ireland might get their second leg at home due to some rugby football November friendly game? Any truth in this?

The 2017 GUINNESS Series will be taking place in the home of Irish Rugby mate, this shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone.

According to Tony O’Donohue the first leg isn’t necessary at home

No they’ve a whole week to work with now so there’s no fear of a clash. The home and away thing will be determined by the draw.

Yes, we can either be home or away in the first leg. Ignore anybody who says we’re definitely at home first because we’re unseeded.

What would that prick know

Great to have Tony in Zurich for this event . He really has a great way of making us feel we are at these events .

What time is the draw guys. If we get a good away tie I think I’ll go

please advise on the perils of playing the first leg away from home and the misconception that it is to a team’s advantage.

We’ll setup defensively in the first leg regardless of whether it’s home or away and some of our better results under O’Neill have been on the road so I don’t think it makes much odds to us

Do away goals “count double” in this?

no, away goals definitely will not count as double

We’d ate the Danes and the Swiss without salt.

We’ll get Croatia.

Huh?

They’ve never lost a playoff :astonished:
