RICHIE HOGAN WILL start in the only change to the Kilkenny side set to face Galway in the All-Ireland SHC Final on Sunday.
Hogan had been suspended for his side’s semi-final win over Tipperary, and comes into the team in place of the injured Michael Rice.
He will play alongside Michael Fennelly in midfield, despite normally operating as a forward.
Elsewhere, the side is the same as the one that beat Tipperary convincingly last month.
Meanwhile, there is also one change to the Galway team that beat Cork in their semi.
Cyril Donnellan comes in for Conor Cooney, while James Regan stays in the side, despite having not been originally selected to start against the Rebels.
