BRIAN CODY HAS made three changes to his Kilkenny side for Saturday’s All-Ireland hurling final replay against Tipperary. After being bottled up by the Tipp defence in the first game, many expected Walter Walsh to drop out and Cody has brought John Power into the line-up in his place.
There is still no room for Henry Shefflin, with the nine-time All-Ireland champion named on the bench. The other two changes were made in defence, with Padraig Walsh and Kieran Joyce coming in for Joey Holden and Brian Hogan.
