World Champions and Group D leaders Germany talk ahead of Euro 2016 qualifier against the Republic of Ireland

Script: SOUNDBITE: (German) Joachim Low, Germany manager

"I think that Ireland are famous for defending very well. If you look at the past, you don't always get 6-1 results. On the contrary, there were more cases of disputed matches then anything else. So I see them both physically and tactically stronger than Scotland, their attacks are more imaginative and we have to be prepared for that. Ireland always make the opponents lives hard, they are robust and physical, but they can also score in the counter. We also know that Ireland have all to play for in those two games against Germany and Poland in order to qualify directly for France 2016."
