Ireland's Simon Zebo has been released from Ireland's World Cup squad on 'compassionate leave'

The Irish Independent report that the winger has been allowed to leave the camp for 24 hours following the passing of his grandfather.

He is expected to return to the training camp tomorrow.

Zebo impressed at full-back in yesterday's six try win over Romania, while he also had a try ruled out by the TMO in the first half of the match.

Meanwhile, Rob Kearney is a doubt ahead of Ireland's next outing.

The full-back picked up a suspected glutial strain during yesterday's victory and will undergo further scans today.

Kearney suffered the injury in the act of scoring a try at Wembley and could now struggle to start next Sunday's Pool D meeting against Italy at the Olympic Stadium.
