Brian O'Driscoll and Reggie Corrigan have rejoined the Ireland squad to play Fiji on Sunday as replacements for the injured John Kelly and Paul Wallace.

Leinster's O'Driscoll and Corrigan, both key players in Ireland's success over the Wallabies last Saturday, were to be rested against the Fijians.

However, with the withdrawal of Kelly and Wallace the pair have been drafted back into Eddie O'Sullivan's plans for the international at Lansdowne Road.

Kelly suffered knee-ligament damage after coming on for Denis Hickie at the weekend and will be out for up to three weeks. He will miss Sunday's clash with Fiji, a match-up with Argentina the following week plus Munster's Celtic League quarter-final against Irish rivals Connacht on November 30th.

Leinster prop Wallace was also been forced to withdraw from the squad having failed to recover from the ankle injury that ruled him out of a place on the bench against the Australians.
