Wilkinson and Fitzgerald in squad

CONNACHT prop Brett Wilkinson and Leinster back Luke Fitzgerald have been added to the Ireland squad.

Wilkinson has been called up as cover for Munster prop Marcus Horan, who injured his hand last week and has been ruled out of playing for several weeks.

Fitzgerald was not named in the original 34 man squad due to an injury he picked up playing for Leinster, but has since returned to training and has recovered sufficiently to join up with the national squad.
