Ireland have named their team for tomorrow's friendly with Wales. 

As expected, Wes Hoolahan starts in the No 10 role behind Shane Long.

Giovanni Trapattoni's 4-4-1-1 formation sees Jon Walters start on the right with Robbie Brady on the opposite flank.

There are no surprises in the back four with Ciaran Clark and John O'Shea reprising their partnership at the back, with Richard Dunne yet to prove his fitness and Sean St Ledger injured.

O'Shea captains the side on the occasion of his 90th cap.

Trap said that he intends to use the same formation against the Sweden in the World Cup qualifiers, but also said that Robbie Keane can expect to start that match in Dublin.
