TIPPERARY HURLING BOSS Eamon O’Shea has made four changes to his side for the much-anticipated showdown with Kilkenny this weekend on Noreside.
The Premier face Brian Cody’s side in a qualifier that will mark the end of the summer for one of hurling’s aristocrats on Saturday night.
In a quartet of switches from the team that lost to Limerick in the Munster semi-final, Conor O’Briencomes in for Kieran Bergin who is injured, at wing-back. John O’Dwyer, Eoin Kelly and Lar Corbett will form a formidable, new-look full-forward line with Pa Bourke, Shane Bourke and Seamus Callanan dropping to the bench.
Kilkenny are yet to name their starting side.
