Republic of Ireland captain Seamus Coleman hopes to tap into the emotional side of facing England, but insists he will tackle Saturday's much-anticipated Nations League meeting with a "smart head".
"You can most certainly tap into the emotional side of it but I think that goes with, to be honest, any time you put on that green jersey for Ireland," said Coleman, who is in line to win his 73rd cap. Coleman is one of only two Republic of Ireland players to have played at a tournament, too, with both he and Robbie Brady part of the country's Euro 2016 squad.
"It's all well and good gathering caps but when all is said and done and you have your feet up when you're retired, you'll look back at the memories of France in 2016.
