Ulster second row, Dan Tuohy, has been added to the 36-man Ireland panel for the final two rounds of this season’s RBS 6 Nations.
The 29 year-old returned from injury against Scarlets last weekend and also played in the defeat to Dragons yesterday.
Tuohy has nine international caps and last lined out for Ireland in last season’s RBS 6 Nations win over Wales. He is one of six Ulster players included in the squad.
Fellow forwards, Rory Best and Iain Henderson keep their places as do backs Tommy Bowe, Darren Cave and Jared Payne.
Ireland play Wales at the Millenium Stadium next Saturday looking to maintain their 100% winning record in this season’s Championship.
Ireland then travel to Murrayfield on Saturday 21st March to take on Scotland.
