Denis Hickie and Kevin Maggs will undergo fitness tests tomorrow morning ahead of Ireland's match with Scotland on Saturday.
Leinster wing Hickie has been named in the side to take on the Scots in Edinburgh but his inclusion is in doubt after aggravating a stomach tear during training.
Ulster's Tyrone Howe has been drafted into the squad as cover for Hickie, who scored four tries in last weekend's 61-6 win over Italy to overtake Brian O'Driscoll as the all-time leading Irish try-scorer.
Maggs, meanwhile, is understood to have a slight groin strain and Rob Henderson has been called into the fold, ruling him out of Munster's Celtic League clash with Leinster.
The match is Ireland's final World Cup warm-up with Eddie O'Sullivan due to name his 30-man squad on Sunday.
