Mack Hansen has been recalled to Ireland's squad for the remaining autumn Tests, while Jamie Osborne will miss out after sustaining a shoulder injury. Ireland face Australia in Dublin on Saturday (20:10 GMT) and then host world champions South Africa at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday 22 November (17:40 GMT).
Connacht wing Mack Hansen, who had been thought unlikely to feature after injuring his foot in Connacht's United Rugby Championship defeat to the Bulls last month, has rejoined Andy Farrell's squad. Hansen has not started at full-back for Ireland, though he has been used there for Connacht in each of his last four appearances. With regular full-back Hugo Keenan also unavailable, Hansen gives Farrell an additional option among the back three.
Leinster's Jamie Osborne, who started at 15 in the earlier Tests against New Zealand and Japan, was replaced by Jimmy O'Brien in the second half of Saturday's 41-10 win over Japan. Farrell indicated the shoulder problem looked serious and Osborne will miss the autumn series.
Connacht team-mate Darragh Murray has also been called into the squad. The second-row forward earned caps during Ireland's summer tour to Georgia and Portugal.
