TIPPERARY MANAGER MICHAEL Ryan has named his team for Saturdayโs All-Ireland senior hurling championship qualifier against Dublin.
The reigning All-Ireland champions have made two changes for this weekendโs round two clash at Semple Stadium, with Jason Forde and John McGrath handed starting berths.
The pair are rewarded for cameos off the bench during the victory over Westmeath last weekend and replace Noel McGrath and the injured Niall OโMeara in the starting XV.
Loughmore-Castleiney forward McGrath scored 1-1 in the last round while Forde ended the game with two points as Ryanโs side safely negotiated the first qualifying hurdle.
Otherwise, itโs as you were for Tipp as they go in search for a place in the quarter-finals against a Dublin side who overcame Laois in the first round.
Throw in at Semple Stadium is at 5pm on Saturday.

up da dubs!
Tipp should win this one handy in front of the home support,then again you never know, the Dubs are under no real pressure and could give it a right lash.
No real changes soโฆ.If the dubs can muster up the fight and courage, along with a game plan to rattle Tipp early this game could be very interesting if the tipp crowd get edgyโฆor it could be a whitewash!!
No Cathal Barrett???
Is there any redemption road???
@Pj: Heโs still recovering from injury.
Whatโs happened to Darren Glenโs on?
