Collins has Ronaldo in his sights

NATHAN Collins is determined to wipe the smile off Cristiano Ronaldo's face as the Republic of Ireland attempt to keep their World Cup dream alive.

Ireland welcome Ronaldo's Portugal to the Aviva Stadium tomorrow knowing their hopes of making it out of Group F could be over if they do not get a result.

They do so having come within seconds of snatching a deserved point against the same opposition in Lisbon last month, prompting Ronaldo, who had earlier seen a penalty saved by Caoimhin Kelleher, to celebrate wildly in defender Jake O'Brien's face.

Asked about the 40-year-old's response after Ruben Neves had headed a late winner, Collins told a press conference: “| guess he was frustrated that he didn't score himself potentially, | didn’t see it. lonly saw it afterwards.
