Eileen Gleeson’s team will face Rhian Wilkinson’s side with a place at the Euros up for grabs.
IRELAND BOSS Eileen Gleeson was satisfied with tonight’s 3-0 win over Georgia and is expecting a tough test next month when Ireland face Wales in the second round of the playoffs.
“They closed us down, and we closed down our own spaces a little bit. But overall, very happy,” she said. The manager suggested the upcoming encounter — the first leg will be in Cardiff on 29 November with the second leg at the Aviva Stadium on 3 December — will be far less straightforward, with not much between the teams.
Ireland have already played Wales once this year, losing 2-0 in a friendly last February. But Gleeson is not reading too much into this result.
