Hunt set for Republic start

Hunt, who has 16 caps to his name, has been drafted into Giovanni Trappatoni's line-up following a hamstring injury to Damien Duff.Ireland's assistant manager Liam Brady insists he has full faith in the player to deliver at the weekend: "He's played a big part in the campaign so far," he said."He played against Georgia and Montenegro, in both games, and was very, very good. We have total confidence he is going to do the business for us on Saturday."
