WATCH: Jack Byrne gives a top-corner reason for all the hype surrounding him in the Eredivisie

Jack Byrne is making a late and wonderful case to be handed a plane ticket to France next month.

The Republic of Ireland's Euro 2016 campaign gets underway in just 43 days and Byrne is doing no harm whatsoever to his chances of a spot on Martin O'Neill's bench, at the very least. Byrne, currently starring for Eredivisie side SC Cambuur on loan from Manchester City, linked up with the senior international set-up in March to train but did not feature in either of the friendlies against Switzerland and Slovakia. https://twitter.com/OptaJohan/status/726762660176470016 The former St Kevin's Boys midfielder has been one of the stand-out players for Cambuur this season and scored an absolute beauty against second-placed PSV on Sunday afternoon. Trailing 3-1, Byrne popped up on the edge of the area, got the ball out of his feet and hammered it beyond the reach of Jeroen Zoet in the PSV goal. It's safe to say he's making believers of almost everyone. https://twitter.com/K97Kieran/status/726762066128805888 https://twitter.com/dunc058/status/726761784321949696 https://twitter.com/DEREKOCONNOR9/status/726761734736887809 https://twitter.com/CentralWinger_/status/726767339857936384 https://twitter.com/DareToHart/status/726769416847937536 Thanks to AJ Pake for sending this our way.
