[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 952466, member: 76349"] Not too gone on Kleyn but he definitely has a chance of going as a fifth lock with Beirne covering across (or as one of four locks but that'd be silly). I wouldn't classify O'Donnell as likely to go but it could happen if Jordi underwhelmed again, WC squads tend to lead to people who weren't in the conversation getting in. Anyway more players are expected to be culled this week, at a guess Mike Haley is the first most likely. Bealham, Herring, O'Donnell, Luke McGrath, Dave Kearney are others who'd be worried about not making to Portugal. Ross Byrne would have been on that list too but he'll probably be kept with Carbery's injury. I don't know anything about how Joe sees things but Herring and Bealham will probably be kept after not really getting a chance against Italy, O'Donnell and Kearney probably earned themselves a stay of execution with good performances in that game, and I'd say he'll keep Luke to keep his options open when it comes to taking or not taking three scrum halves. I'd guess Haley is the only one who's actually likely to be dumped but there are others who could well be gone as well. [/QUOTE]
