Preview: Republic of Ireland v Sweden

The squad have just spent one week training in Dublin, another in Cork and the final week of preparation in the historic town of Versailles on the outskirts of Paris.<br /> <br /> Three weeks is a long time to wait for a game of competitive football and it was certainly showing on the face of the Ireland manager as he worked through his last batch of questions before the real work would start tonight at the northern Paris venue.<br /> <br /> In fact, O’Neill’s demeanour has barely changed throughout this intensive period, building up to the tournament and the Derryman admitted that he would “just like to get on with it”, having “waited impatiently” for the opening game.<br /> <br /> Just a few hours earlier, Swedish superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic was sat in those same seats, yet showing none of O’Neill’s reticence, in fact the charismatic centre forward was the polar opposite to the Ireland pair who were speaking through gritted teeth.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br /></div> <div style="background-image: url(https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/l/t1.0-9/13335564_250537935313307_1213420863819695961_n.jpg?oh=fe81e0f3a5bd2a51986f7acfeb694153&oe=57D4E58E); height: 390px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 30px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 610px;"> <center> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- olfa --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8981092383058457" data-ad-slot="8264054525" style="display: inline-block; height: 280px; width: 336px;"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </center> <ins style="border: none; display: inline-table; height: 250px; margin: 0; padding: 0; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 300px;"><ins id="aswift_2_anchor" style="border: none; display: block; height: 250px; margin: 0; padding: 0; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 300px;"><iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="250" hspace="0" id="aswift_2" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" name="aswift_2" onload="var i=this.id,s=window.google_iframe_oncopy,H=s&&s.handlers,h=H&&H [i],w=this.contentWindow,d;try{d=w.document}catch(e){}if (h&&d&&(!d.body||!d.body.firstChild)){if(h.call){setTimeout (h,0)}else if(h.match){w.location.replace(h)}}" scrolling="no" style="left: 0; position: absolute; top: 0;" vspace="0" width="300"></iframe></ins></ins></div> <br /> <br /></div> <br /> <br /> <iframe frameborder="0" height="480" scrolling="no" src="http://wizhdsports.sx/live/stream5.php" width="700"></iframe> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://img.rasset.ie/000c617a-800.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://img.rasset.ie/000c617a-800.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br />

Roosters v Wests Tigers: Schick Preview

The fact this game features 15th hosting 13th means there will be no shortage of desperation on Sunday afternoon at Allianz Stadium as both sides desperately try to keep their finals hopes alive.<br /> <br /> With just two wins from 11 games things are already dire for a Roosters side that should be well-rested from last week's bye (other than Origin reps Boyd Cordner, Aidan Guerra and Blake Ferguson, who have all been named to back up) while the Tigers will be buoyed by last week's impressive upset win over ladder-leaders Brisbane (albeit minus their Origin stars).<br /> <br /> With three more victories in the bag than their opponents this year, Jason Taylor's men are just a win behind the eighth-placed Panthers and if they can string a few together now can put themselves in a good position coming out of the rep period.<br /> <br /> They get a further boost in the return of star fullback James Tedesco from a shoulder injury, while their two most senior players in Aaron Woods and Robbie Farah return from Blues duty. Jordan Rankin is the unlucky man to make way for Tedesco, with promising rookie Josh Addo-Carr retained on the wing. Dene Halatau and Tim Grant push back to the bench and JJ Felise and Kyle Lovett both go out to an extended bench.<br /> <br /> <br /> <center> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- olfa --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8981092383058457" data-ad-slot="8264054525" style="display: inline-block; height: 280px; width: 336px;"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </center>
