Andy Farrell has been forced to make changes to his starting XI for Saturday's Six Nations clash against Scotland at the Aviva Stadium.
Full-back Hugo Keenan was forced to miss the game due to a hip injury, and Jordan Larmour replaced him in the squad.
Jordan Larmour replaces Hugo Keenan
Larmore earned his second cap in this year's Six Nations, coming off the bench in the 36-0 win over Italy.
This is Keenan's second game for Ireland due to injury.
Ciaran Frawley started in Kiernan's place against Wales, but Farrell opted to give Larmour a chance instead.
Ireland only need two match points against Scotland to secure back-to-back titles.
