There are several enforced changes to the travelling party ahead of the pre-tournament training camp in Portugal.
Jack Boyle sustained a leg injury during Leinster’s derby win in Galway, and Connacht’s uncapped prop Billy Bohan will join the training camp in Quinta do Lago.
Bohan, who is in the Connacht Academy, featured for the Ireland Under-20 Men in last season’s U-20 Six Nations Championship and World Rugby U-20 Championship.
Tom Ahern is replaced by Cormac Izuchukwu, while Robert Baloucoune will continue to be assessed over the coming days after being withdrawn at half-time during Ulster’s defeat away to the Scarlets.
Ireland will launch their Guinness Men’s Six Nations campaign away to France on Thursday week (February 5) (kick-off 9.10pm local time/8.10pm Irish time).
