As expected, Clare and Tipperary have rung wholesale changes ahead of Sunday’s Allianz Hurling League semi-final.

With both counties having fielded largely experimental sides in their final round-robin outings against Offaly and Antrim respectively, a raft of big names have been returned to Brian Lohan and Liam Cahill's starting line-ups for the penultimate round clash in Portlaoise.
