LAST UPDATE | 17 Apr

ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONS Tipperary have named 13 of last July’s final winning side for Sunday’s Munster hurling opener against Cork.

Oisin O’Donoghue and Stefan Tobin are handed first championship starts at wing-back and corner-forward respectively.

Darragh McCarthy and Sam O’Farrell are named on the bench.

Cork have made two changes from the Division 1 league final defeat to Limerick for Sunday’s game.

Mark Coleman comes in at wing-back and Barry Walsh at wing-forward as Michéal Mullins and Séamus Harnedy make way. Walsh and William Buckley are set to make their senior championship debuts, while Diarmuid Healy is a notable inclusion on the bench after recent injury struggles.

Dublin make one switch for their Leinster opener against Offaly on Saturday night, from the outfit that loss the recent Division 1B league final to Clare.

Dara Purcell comes in at corner-forward for Diarmuid Ó Dúlaing, who was forced off at half-time of that clash against the Banner.

Liam Rushe is named on the bench after recently returning to the inter-county game.
