Munster prop Roman Salanoa has been called up to Ireland’s squad as cover for Tadhg Furlong.
Furlong, who is not fully fit after a calf injury, was not selected in the matchday 23 for Saturday's Six Nations opener against Wales in Cardiff.
It is hoped that the 32-year-old Leinster tighthead will be back for the championship encounter with France at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday week.
