THIRTEEN OF LIMERICK’S Munster title winning side last year are named in the starting fifteen for the first defence of their crown against Tipperary on Sunday.
Manager TJ Ryan has made two changes from the final win over Cork last July with Na Piarsaigh duo Shane Dowling and Kevin Downes – who both came on as substitutes in that victory over the Rebels – both handed starting places in attack.
The players to make way are David Breen, who has been hampered by injury this season, and defender Stephen Walsh.
Seamus Hickey, who tore his cruciate ligament last year in the All-Ireland semi-final loss to Clare, is named to start in defence at right corner-back.
