Possibly
Others are injured too

Namibia names World Cup squad
With the exception of two names, Namibia has finalised its 33-man squad for the upcoming Rugby World Cup in France.
Namibia pick 39-year-old Van Lill for Rugby World Cup
Namibia, beaten in all 22 matches they played at six previous Rugby World Cups, named 39-year-old lock PJ van Lill among 31 players on Monday for the 2023 tournament in France.

Ireland have named their squad. Cian Healy, longtime prop, and occasional star hooker, is not in it.
However, it has meant that another foreigner gets into the squad.
USA - Loughman, McCarthy
New Zealand - Lowe, Gibson-Park, Aki
Australia - Hansen, Bealham
SA - HerringBit disappointing that SA only managed to get one player into the squad despite their heavy involvement in Irish rugby over the last few years.

Yeah with his gingery hair, you could say it’s a red herring.

You could - it passes through from every second generation - must have been his grandfather.
No excuse for losing Jean Kleyn though - having captured him and then letting him escape back to SA into their RWC squad. He'll probably score the winning try in their pool match. -
