Jacob Stockdale has been recalled to the Ireland squad for the final rounds of the Six Nations against Scotland and England.

The Ulster winger has been absent for the opening three games, having suffered bone bruising on his knee.

However, he made his return to PRO 14 action recently for Ulster, impressing in Friday night's defeat to Leinster.

Head coach Andy Farrell has recalled the 24-year-old, as the squad gathers back in camp today, with Stockdale replacing Munster's Shane Daly in the 36-man squad.

Meanwhile Josh van der Flier is going through the return to play protocols following a HIA, while there are no other major injury concerns to contend with for head coach Andy Farrell.

Ireland take on Scotland at Murrayfield this Sunday, before facing England at the Aviva Stadium six days later.
