Does it really matter? Seriously...

Kerr should use this as a chance to try out fringe players and player who were with the U-21s. Like the way Scotland had their Future Squad. Crowe, Delap, O'Flynn (if back to fitness and form), Kavanagh, Steven Kelly, Andy Reid, Graham Barrett and that Centre back who plays with Forest should all get called up.

If Delap is the future of Irish football, I'm defectiong to the IRFU.

Don't forget Miller, Butler and Healy, though I think Thornton will unfortunately still be injured. I'd like to see Morrisson get another start too.

That centre back is called Johnson or something like that, isn't he?

Thompsons his name isn't it?

As for the quality of the opponents I think they've got it right. Trying out youngsters in a no pressure game we should win gives them a chance to express themselves and not be intimidated which is important for the confidence of the youngsters. If we were playing france and lost 4-0 they'd take a while to recover. As it is we should see the best of Andy Reid and co.
