Highlights of the Republic of Ireland's friendly with Holland in Tilburg, a test for their
World Cup plans. The Dutch, among the cup favourites, can call upon leading players like Dennis Bergkamp and Frank Rijkaard. But Jack Charlton 's Irish team can field its own stars, including Manchester United's Roy Keane. Also tonight, Northern Ireland begin their bid to qualify for the European Championship, playing Liechtenstein in Belfast. Meanwhile Wales meet Sweden in a friendly in Wrexham, with a different manager at the helm for the third match in succession.
