As expected Liam Cahill and John Leahy return to the Tipperary team for the Munster Senior Hurling championship clash with Waterford in Cork on Sunday. Cahill missed the league final defeat by Galway because of injury but is fit again and reclaims his place at right corner forward. Leahy came on as a sub against Galway and his inclusion in the starting line up for Sunday was expected. In a much reshuffled side, Liam Sheedy and Gerry Maguire lose out.
For Waterford, Stephen Frampton is back from his Australian trip to resume at wingback and, despite all the changes, the side has a very experienced look. There is only one championship debutante, left halfback James Murray.
