ROVERS midfielder Keith Andrews will be tackling the likes of Kaka and Robinho this Tuesday evening.

For the Republic of Ireland international is in Giovanni Trapattoni's Ireland squad for their friendly match against Brazil at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium.

And it is a game that Andrews, who'll pick up his 13th cap, is looking forward to.

"It is a great game to be involved in," said Andrews after the Rovers match at Anfield on Sunday.

"They are the favourites for the World Cup and they have some fantastic players.

"The lads were just joking in the dressing room that I better get a few touches in the warm up because I might not be getting any in the game!

"But I'm sure we'll give a good account of ourselves and I'm thoroughly looking forward to it."
