KILKENNY HAVE UNVEILED their starting side for Saturday’s All-Ireland senior hurling semi-final replay against Waterford and it’s the same again for manager Brian Cody.

He’s named the same side that started last Sunday’s epic draw in Croke Park with Eoin Larkin and Lester Ryan – the only substitutes used last Saturday – selected on the bench again.

Kilkenny will be hoping to maintain their record in championship replays under Cody with four wins out of the five games they have played – Clare 2004, Galway 2012, Galway 2014 and Tipperary 2014.

Their solitary defeat in a replay under Cody’s watch was in the 2013 Leinster semi-final against Dublin.

Throw-in at Semple Stadium on Saturday night is 6.45pm.
