Time to go for the jugular.
This is it, two games to keep our World Cup chances alive.
We need a win against Moldova in the Aviva Stadium tonight if Wales hold out for the three points in Georgia but we also need a performance.
But Martin O'Neill is going for it with some bold choices.
- Callum O'Dowda starts
- Shane Long and Daryl Murphy are in
- Wes Hoolahan is in too

With Robbie Brady and James McClean out, it looks like Ireland are either going for a ridiculously attacking 4-3-3 which would involve Wes in the middle three or else they're trusting Meyler and Hendrick to hold the fort and allow Hoolahan, O'Dowda and Long to mix up a front four with Daryl Murphy.
The bench isn't half bad either with plenty of interesting options.

Perhaps the most exciting name to see in the matchday squad is that of Preston striker Sean Maguire.
