Jeremy Loughman has been called up to the Irish squad for the first time.
The Munster prop is drafted ahead of the Six Nations clash against England at the weekend.
He will provide cover in the absence of Andrew Porter, who has been ruled out of the rest of the competition with an ankle injury.
Jordan Larmour has also joined the injured list, after suffering a hip problem in Leinster’s win over Benetton last weekend.

Eight players return to the squad after provincial action, including Ulster’s Iain Henderson.
He played 80 minutes in their URC win over Cardiff and could be in contention for playing time with Ireland in the coming weeks.
The squad gathered at Carton House last night ahead of this weekend’s clash at Twickenham.
