Commenting on the draw, Republic of Ireland manager, Giovanni Trapattoni said, "I am happy with this draw and the early fixtures represent good opportunities for us and it is always good to finish at home. On balance, these fixtures are better than those we had in the previous World Cup qualification campaign.
