Martin O'Neill is vowing that his Republic of Ireland side will take the game to Wales tonight. The sides meet in the return fixture in the Nations League, after Ireland were thrashed 4-1 in Cardiff last month. Wales arrive in Dublin shorn of the talents of Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey, but O'Neill says regardless of absentees, Ireland will have to improve. "We would have to do better all round, deal with players of that calibre better than we did do to give ourselves any sort of chance of getting anything from the game," O'Neill said. The Republic of Ireland defender says their goalless draw with Denmark on Saturday has given them new confidence.
