The two played for the Irish second string team, the Wolfhounds, on Friday and clearly impressed the coaching staff.

They're joined in the squad by Ulster team mates Stephen Ferris, Rory Best, Paddy Wallace, Andrew Trimble, and Tom Court.

The majority of the squad that trained in the Limerick camp last week have been retained.
