COLM BONNAR HAS made two changes to his Tipperary team to face Clare in the second round of the Munster Senior Hurling Championship in Thurles on Sunday (2pm).

Dan McCormack replaces Alan Flynn in midfield, with Flynn beginning from the bench, and John McGrath comes in for the injured Conor Bowe in the full-forward line.

Tipp are otherwise unchanged from the side who put it up to Waterford, albeit in defeat, last weekend.

Meanwhile, Peter Duggan will make his first championship appearance for Clare since 2019. Shane O’Donnell does not start with Brian Lohan naming a full-forward line of Duggan, Shane Meehan and Ian Galvin.
