Connacht props Jack Aungier and Fiachna Barrett and versatile Ulster forward Harry Sheridan are the other call-ups for the game. 

Ciaran Frawley, Billy Bohan, and Bryan Ward have also linked up with the squad in Limerick after involvement with the Ireland Six Nations group in Portugal. 

Sam Illo, Oli Jager, Diarmuid Mangan and Ben Murphy have been ruled out for Friday while Jude Postlethwaite and Darragh Murphy are with the Ireland squad in Paris ahead of Thursday's Six Nations game against France.
