The uncapped Munster players come in with doubts over the fitness of Ulster lock Iain Henderson.
Henderson picked up a foot injury during his province's away loss to the Ospreys on the weekend.
"There will be a further update later in the week," the Irish rugby federation said in a statement.
Farrell will name his team to play Wales in the third round of this year's championship on Thursday.
