Having trailed after Fabian Schär’s well-worked opener, Mick McCarthy’s men were desperate for an equaliser.
It finally came in the 85th minute. James McClean won the ball down the left. His subsequent cross took a heavy deflection and David McGoldrick was in the right place at the right time to head home.
It was the Sheffield United striker’s first goal and it earned Ireland what could prove to be a valuable point.
Murray Kinsella, Gavan Casey and Bernard Jackman make the case for Ireland winning… and tanking at the Rugby World Cup, as we gear up for Wales again:
