Having drawn with Galway last week, the outcome of the game in Thurles will determine whether Tipp have to face the Rebels again in the relegation play-off or if they qualify for the quarter-finals.
In defence, James Barry is picked for the first time since the league opener against Dublin, while Conor O’Brien makes his first start. John O’Dwyer returns in attack while Tomás Hamill, Michael Cahill, Kieran Bergin, and Dan McCormack miss out.
