Spillane, whose father Tom won four All-Ireland senior medals, is named at right half-forward as Jonathan Lyne drops to defence as part of a reshuffle to cover the absence of Shane Enright, who was taken off injured in last week’s win over Donegal.
Also playing his first competitive game is Ronan Shanahan, who comes in for Jason Foley at corner-back, while Jack Barry, who replaced Enright early last week, comes in for his first start, with Tom O’Sullivan making way. Foley and O’Sullivan both played for UCC during the week as their Sigerson Cup win over IT Carlow went to extra-time. For Mayo, Tom Parsons replaces injured Danny Kirby.
