Noel McGrath starts on the bench for Tipperary

McGrath, along with the injured Niall O’Meara (ankle), are the two players from the team which overcame Westmeath by 2-18 to 0-15 last weekend who have failed to retain their starting berth.
Jason Forde comes in at right half-forward, with Michael Breen moving out to midfield where he will accompany Brendan Maher. The second change in personnel sees John McGrath, dropped for the Westmeath fixture, return to the inside line.
