GAA: Tipperary manager Declan Ryan has stuck with same personnel started the semi-final win over Dublin ahead of their All-Ireland showdown Kilkenny at Croke Park on Sunday.

Séamus Callanan will start at 10 against the Cats, with Noel McGrath moving to the centre of the half forward line but otherwise the defending champions are unchanged.

That means Brendan Maher, who replaced Callanan at halftime in the 1-19 to 0-18 win over Dublin two weeks ago.

Kilkenny manager Brian Cody is expected to name his team on Friday.
