Tipperary coach and selector Tommy Dunne will be in the stand for Sunday’s Munster SHC Round 2 game against Clare in Thurles as he awaits a hearing to contest his three-month ban next week.

The 2001 All-Ireland winning captain and hurler of the year was handed down the penalty for a verbal altercation with referee Johnny Murphy at half-time in last Sunday's provincial opener in Walsh Park.
