Former Cardiff City defender James Collins has vowed that his Wales team-mates won't be bullied into defeat in Saturday's mouth-watering clash against Northern Ireland at Windsor Park.
Wales take on Lawrie Sanchez's side and the Newport-born, West Ham defender reckons they can succeed were Sven Goran Eriksson's England failed.
England endured a torrid night at Windsor Park last month, losing 1-0 thanks to David Healy's late goal. They were hustled all night and never got to play their normal game and Collins has promised Wales won't fall for the same tactics.
He said: "We know what to expect and we are ready for it.
"We know this game isn't going to be pretty and we are prepared for that and if they play like they did against England then we will have to deal with it.
"We won't be intimidated, we have the players to match them in that department and we know what to expect.
"Although both teams have nothing to play for, this game has a bit of tension because of the last match in Cardiff, with David Healy's sending off and Michael Hughes and Robbie (Savage) getting sent-off, the nature of the result and the type of game that it was.
"It is probably going to be a Championship/Premiership type game because a lot of players play against each other domestically, so it is going to be interesting and it is going to be a tough game."
Collins has endured a frustrating start to his Premiership campaign and is having to wait his turn as Anton Ferdinand and Welsh team-mate Danny Gabbidon have been playing so well for West Ham.
And the former Cardiff City defender, nicknamed 'Ginge' is looking forward to getting some game time under his belt.
He said: "It is always frustrating when you are not playing for your club, but I've got no qualms at the minute because the team is playing so well.
"I bided my time at Cardiff and that is what I'll have to do at West Ham.
"I've not been playing much football at the moment and hopefully I can get through it without getting a knock, because every time I play I seem to get a silly injury and I really need to play some football."
