"No! I really don't think so," he said. "I was listening to you there thinking, 'oh no, this is going to go horribly wrong.' "Of those four teams, in recent historic terms, Denmark are the least good - that is true. But I think they've been playing really well recently. Their qualification was made much harder than it should've been because they lost two of their first three games. "But look at how they've played recently - not so much the last two games but the two games in September in particular. They beat Poland 4-0 and I know you were saying that Ireland had the measure of Poland in the last qualifiers but I think this is a much better Poland team now. "I think there's an element of people not taking this Denmark side seriously when I think this is a much better side than what Denmark have had certainly since they qualified for the Euros in 2012."Wilson thinks Italy were the side to draw.

No-one's ever gone out and bought a ticket to watch David Meyler play."
