4 All-Ireland U21 winners to make senior debut for Limerick against Tipperary on Sunday
Dan Morrissey will make his first start for Limerick after being named at full-back. The Ahane club man did come on as a substitute last season.
Cian Lynch, who burst onto the senior stage last summer, is the other U21 winner from last year included here.
Limerick make six changes from the side that lost to Waterford in the league semi-final in April.
Seamus Hickey, Tom Condon and Declan Hannon didn’t start that loss due to injury and all return. Shane Dowling, Morrissey and Graeme Mulcahy are the others players who get starting places on this occasion.
