Wales defender Neil Taylor says their Euro 2016 semi-final run has forced them to adapt their style of play in World Cup qualification.

Chris Colemanโ€™s side won their opening Group D game  4-0 against Moldova  but have drawn their other three games against  Austria ,  Georgia  and  Serbia.

Group leaders Republic of Ireland await Wales in a crucial game on Friday.

โ€œTeams want to beat us. Weโ€™re a team people respect and play differently against,โ€ Taylor told BBC Wales Sport.

โ€œI donโ€™t think weโ€™ve struggled with it. For starters we were the top seed in the group so that makes a massive difference.

โ€œWe have to find the answers now sometimes against teams who wonโ€™t come out and attack as much.

The Welsh side have been training in Cardiff today in preparation for Fridayโ€™s World Cup qualifier against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin.

Gareth Bale and Liverpoolโ€™s 17-year-old forward Ben Woodburn were among those taking part.

With one win and three draws from their opening four games, Wales are four points behind Group D leaders Ireland.
