Stephen Quinn prepared for key Poland clash

Stephen Quinn refuses to play down the importance of this weekend's Euro 2016 qualification clash against Poland as Republic of Ireland look to take control of Group D.

Republic of Ireland midfielder Stephen Quinn has called on his teammates to set the tempo against Poland in order to wrest control of their Euro 2016 qualification group.

The Boys in Green are currently level on seven points with Scotland and Germany in Group D, while weekend opponents Poland top the table following an unbeaten start to their campaign.

Despite the odds seemingly being stacked against his side, Quinn, who is expected to start at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday, insists that Ireland will not sit back against the pacesetters.

"Every game is a must-win game, you want to win all these games and try to get as good a lead as possible," he is quoted as saying by the Daily Mail. "But it doesn't work like that with such a tough and strong group.

"It is a big game, we know how big it is, there's no point in beating around the bush. But we'll go out and do our best. We'll leave no stone unturned and do all our tactics, and then we'll go out and do our job.

"There's no point in just talking about it and looking at the videos, we've got to get on the ball and bring the game to them. In European football at the minute, any team can beat anyone but you've just got to be the best team on the day and hopefully that will come good for us on Sunday."

Quinn has been capped 12 times for Ireland since being handed his senior debut in 2013.
