Cometh the hour, cometh the man! Jonathan Walters' double has sent Ireland towards Euro 2016.
The Stoke City striker scored either side of half-time to secure a 2-0 victory against Bosnia at the Aviva Stadium tonight to send the Boys in Green through to next year's tournament in France.
Ireland came into tonight's second leg holding a 1-1 draw from Friday night's match in Zenica and emerged on the other side of the 90 minutes with a 3-1 aggregate score.
The first goal came from spot kick on 24 minutes after Bosnia midfielder Senad Lulic was penalised for a handball, with the Stoke striker dispatching his penalty with aplomb past his former club colleague Asmir Begovic.
