Finlay Bealham and Mack Hansen will be monitored following injuries they picked up against England in their opening Six Nations clash.
Hansen picked up a leg injury in the first half of the game while Bealham suffered an ankle injury and was replaced after 58 minutes.
Tadhg Furlong (calf) and Joe McCarthy (concussion) have both stepped up their rehabilitation programmes and will be assessed later in the week before a decision is made on their availability.
The Ireland team will be named on Friday morning.
