Recalled prop Assiratti and uncapped flanker Woodman joined the squad when they returned to camp on Sunday after the tournament's fallow week.

Ospreys lock Rhys Davies and Scarlets back-rower Taine Plumtree have both been ruled out for the remainder of the tournament and 22-year-old Woodman can operate in both positions.

The Newport-born former Wales Under-20s captain has 43 Dragons appearances, featuring in 13 of 16 games this season.

Tight-head Assiratti was named in Tandy's original squad for this year's campaign but was released after a calf injury before the first match against England.

Wales are also waiting on the fitness of fly-half Sam Costelow before they travel to Dublin looking for their first win in 15 Six Nations games.
