Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E kī ana a Roy Keane ka anga atu te Reipa o Ireland ki te whakataetae Euro 2016 o te Rātapu ki ngā kaiārahi ohorere o te Rōpū D, ko Pori, kāore he aha atu i te wikitōria. I tēnei wā kei te tihi o te puranga nga Poari, e toru ngā tohu i mua i a Tiamana, Scotland me Ireland i te mea i riro i a rātau te porotiti o ngā toa hou o te ao i Warsaw i te Oketopa. Ko ngā tāngata o Martin O'Neill, ko ngā Tiamana me ngā Pākehā e whitu ngā tohu kei muri i a rātou, engari e kī ana te kaiāwhina o te kaiwhakahaere a Keane, kotahi anake te huarahi hei whakamātau i te Rōpū Republic ki te whakatikatika i te āputa i te Taiwhanga o Aviva. Ko te kaiāwhina o te kaiako o Ireland a Roy Keane (i waenganui) e mātakitaki ana i te whakangungu i Malahide i te Mane. Kei te aro atu a Keane ki tētahi wikitōria nui i te whakataetae tohu whiringa toa Euro 2016 i runga i a Poland i te Taiwhanga o Aviva i te Rātapu. I mea ia: 'He wikitoria ka pai i muri i te pouri o [te hinganga 1-0 o Noema i roto i] Scotland. 'E kore e taea e koe te whai i te maha o ngā tohatoha. I ētahi rā, ka whiwhi koe i ngā tāpaetanga pai, i ngā tāpaetanga kino, pērā i te tāpaetanga i Tiamana, kāore he feaa he pai. Engari ko te whakaaro i te kāinga ko te wikitoria i te tukinga. 'I muri mai, kāore pea he hua kino i te toenga, engari ko tā mātou whakaaro i mua i te kēmu, ko te haere ki te wikitōria. Ko te hē i Scotland ko tētahi e kore e hiahia ana mātou kia nui rawa te utu ki a mātou, engari ko te whakaaro o te kaiwhakahaere, o te kaimahi, o nga kaitākaro me nga kaiwhaiwhai i muri i a mātou, me haere ki te whakamātau ki te wikitōria i te whakataetae whutupaoro.' Ka ki tonu te papa tākaro o Aviva i te Rātapu i te wā e anga whakamua ana a Ireland ki te whakahohe i ngā maharatanga o tō rātou wikitōria nui whakamutunga i runga i te whenua, te wikitōria rongonui 1-0 ki a Holland i whakatū ai te whāinga a Jason McAteer i te whenua ki te huarahi ki te whiringa toa o te 2002 World Cup. I tākaro a Keane i tērā kēmu, ā, i whakatakoto i te reo mō te ahiahi, i a ia e pupuhi ana ki tētahi tukinga i te meneti tuatahi ki a Marc Overmars. Ko Darren Randolf (maui) e whai ana a David Forde, Cyrus Christie me Richard Keogh i te wa o te huihuinga. I te pātai mēnā ka taea e ia te whakamahi i taua momo pānga mai i te taha o te taha i tēnei wā, ka whakahoki ia: 'Kāore, kāore au e kaha ki te whakaeke i tētahi, ka taea rānei e au?

I tēnei wā kei runga a Poland i te Rōpū D me ngā tohu 10. Ko te Republic o Ireland, ko Tiamana me Scotland e noho ana i te tuarua o nga waahi e whitu nga tohu. Ko te kapa o Martin O'Neill e aro atu ana ki a Poland i te Whare Taonga o Aviva i te Ratapu. I hinga a Reipa i tana tukinga whakamutunga 1-0 ki a Scotland i Whiringa-a-rangi.
