THE REIGNING ALL-Ireland champions continue to rotate their panel as the Allianz Hurling League passes its halfway point.

Tipp boss Michael Ryan brings in Ronan Maher for his brother Padraic on the half-back line, while Barry Heffernan comes in for his first start of the campaign in place of Kieran Bergin at midfield.

In attack, Dan McCormack and Jason Forde lose out, while Noel McGrath and John ‘Bubbles’ O’Dwyer return to the starting lineup.

Meanwhile, Clare show just two changes from the side that defeated Kilkenny a fortnight ago.

Patrick Kelly replaces Donal Tuohy between the posts, while  Cathal McInerney lines out at corner forward instead of Shane O’Donnell.
