Tough test ahead

SportsJOE

Put down your abacus.

It’s been a mathematical minefield over the past week with some brain-melting permutations, but we finally know who Martin O’Neill’s side will face in their Euro 2016 play-off.

The four-seeded teams are Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ukraine, Sweden and Hungary, which leaves the Republic of Ireland, Norway, Slovenia and Denmark as the unseeded teams.

Turkey qualify automatically as the best third place team.

This first side drawn out of the pot will play the first leg on November 12th, 13th or 14th.

The away leg will be that same week, taking place on Nov 15th, 16th and 17th.

The draw will take place this Sunday at 10.20am, and will be broadcast live on RTE  Player.
