All-Ireland champions Limerick have done a spot of rotation for Sunday's final provincial round-robin against the team of the championship so far, Tipperary. Those rested by manager John Kiely are team captain Declan Hannon, Hurler of the Year Cian Lynch, All Star Graeme Mulcahy and Tom Morrissey.
Into the team come another All Star, Dan Morrissey, Darragh O'Donovan, Shane Dowling and Séamus Flanagan.
Opponents Tipperary are more conservative, returning full back James Barry, who missed the win over Clare, and Seán O'Brien to the full-back line in place of Barry Heffernan and Alan Flynn, whereas in the forwards Jake Morris comes in for Dan McCormack.
Kilkenny are able to bring back All Star goalkeeper Eoin Murphy for Saturday's crucial final match in the Leinster championship round-robin. Murphy broke his tibia in a club match with Glenmore in April and consequently missed the county's first three championship matches but he will start in Wexford Park.
Walter Walsh, who missed the home defeat by Galway last week, is back on then replacements' bench and considered likely to play a significant part in the match, the winners of which will proceed to the provincial final.
