It looks like Ireland will avoid Northern Ireland and Wales at Euro 2016

Ireland's historic win last night over Bosnia and Herzegovina means that all eyes are already set on who Martin O'Neill's side may face in France next summer. 

The final two place will be decided for tonight as Ukraine and Sweden look in pole position to book their places in France. Even though the final seedings have not been decided we know that Ireland will be in the Fourth Pot. 

A place in Pot 4 means that any potential group games against either Northern Ireland or Wales will now not happen. While many fans will be delighted to have qualified, there is sure to be a sense of disappointment that with so many Irish and British teams taking part, there will only be a one in six chance of facing England.

Hosts France, along with Spain, Germany, England, Portugal and Belgium will be top seeds when the draw takes place on December 12th.
