Tipperary have made two changes for Saturday's Round 3B qualifier against Armagh, but Michael Quinlivan has not been included.

The All Star attacker made his return from injury last weekend, as Tipp came from six points down at half time to win 2-15 to 0-18.

Quinlivan scored a point after coming on for the last 25 minutes, his first appearance since sustaining ankle ligament damage in the Munster semi-final loss to Cork . He lasted just 19 minutes of that defeat to the Rebels.

Philip Austin from Borrisokane, another who impressed off the bench in the second half in Breffni Park, does return to the starting XV.
