Simon Zebo and Craig Gilroy have both been added to the extended Ireland squad for the upcoming Six Nations campaign.

Zebo scored a try in yesterday's Munster's Heineken Cup win over Edinburgh, while Gilroy featured for Ulster against Leicester.

Keith Earls remains a doubt, however, after picking up a knee injury in Munster's Heineken Cup win over Edinburgh yesterday.

The winger is having a scan on his knee today.
