Kilkenny primed as Cody makes two changes

Brian Hogan will make his first appearance of this year's All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship when he lines out for Kilkenny in tomorrow's semi-final clash with Waterford (Croke Park, throw-in 4pm).

Hogan has been named at centre-back in the Kilkenny team to take on the Deise in a repeat of last year's final which Brian Cody's men romped away with.
