Jordan Larmour will not be available to play any role in this autumn international window while Ryan Baird has been ruled out of the two remaining Six Nations fixtures.
Connacht’s Ultan Dillane has been added to the squad.
Finlay Bealham and Dave Heffernan are progressing though the return to play protocols.
