Tipp make four changes for Banner battle
Joe O’Dwyer comes in at left corner-back instead of Pa Dunne while Liam Treacy is at right half-back, with Seamus Kennedy making way. In attack David Butler and Michael O’Brien are both given starting berths with Dan McCormack and Tommy Heffernan the two to drop out.
Tipperary were overturned in a classic encounter by Cork last week but despite the disappointment of that defeat they showed enough to suggest that they have some splendid talents in their team. Andrew Ryan is an excellent full-back, while Brian Stapleton and John Meagher are capable of dominating outside in the half-back line.
