Ireland wing Mack Hansen will miss Sunday's Six Nations match against Scotland due to a hamstring issue and will be replaced by Calvin Nash, the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) said.
Hansen, who has scored 15 tries in 30 appearances for Ireland, would sit out as a precaution because of hamstring tightness, the IRFU said in a statement.
Nash, 27, will earn his ninth cap for Ireland.
Ireland, who beat England in their campaign opener last weekend, take on Scotland at Murrayfield.
