ANDY FARRELL is not losing sleep over his World Cup squad picks as the final deadline looms.
The Ireland head coach will name his 33-man squad for the finals at Aviva Stadium on Monday afternoon.
He cut five players from his training panel ahead of last week's victory over England and must cut five more after tomorrow's final warm-up Test against Samoa in Bayonne.
But while debate rages over the final three or four names to be decided and over whether Ireland's management will pick 19 forwards and 14 backs or 18 forwards and 15 backs, Farrell is calm about the process.
And, he assures, he is not tossing and turning at night over those final decisions.
"Not really, no," smiled Farrell. "We're pretty clear on that but having said that, there are a few more days for moving parts.
"We'll adapt to that but we've been pretty clear from the start in terms of what we want because it's all different with different personnel and different teams, you've got to do what's right to fit your group.
