Sam Ryan replaces Colm O’Neill, who went off injured the last day with a knee problem.

Ryan is named at corner-back and will make his senior championship debut against the Kingdom.

Kevin Crowley moves from the corner to wing-back, while Sean White starts at centre-forward and Mark Collins pushes into full-forward.

Sean Powter hasn’t recovered from his hamstring injury in time to make the squad but O’Neill is part of the Rebel replacements.

White brothers Mark and Sean, plus Kevin Flahive will make their first Munster final starts on Saturday night in Pairc Ui Chaoimh.

Kerry boss Eamonn Fitzmaurice has yet to unveil his team.
