West Brom boss Tony Pulis has joked he is ready to bench James McClean after he ended Wales' World Cup dreams.
The winger scored the winner in the Republic of Ireland's 1-0 victory in Cardiff on Monday as they reached the play-offs at Wales' expense.
Newport-born Pulis has been installed as one of the favourites for the manager's job with current boss Chris Coleman considering his future after their failure to reach Russia.
It is something Pulis has dismissed and he also revealed McClean has been rubbing in Ireland's win.
