Martin O'Neill: 'Republic of Ireland will throw absolutely everything at Italy'

Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill has pledged to "throw absolutely everything" at Italy as they attempt to reach the last 16 of Euro 2016.

The Boys in Green are bottom of Group E following their 3-0 defeat at the hands of Belgium on Saturday, but a win against the Azzurri could still take them through to the knockout stage.

O'Neill told reporters on Saturday: "We must go and try to win - that can be our only thought.

"There was a thought about possibly being able to go through unbeaten with three draws. That is gone now, and we've a game to win. We'll throw absolutely everything into it to try and win."

With Italy already through and with numerous key players one booking away from a suspension, head coach Antonio Conte has said that he will rest some players.
