Kilkenny and Limerick have named their teams for Saturday's All-Ireland U21 HC final at Semple Stadium (3pm).
Eddie Brennan's Cats are on a mission to land the big one after last year's shock Leinster quarter-final defeat Westmeath.
They beat Wexford in the provincial final and annihilated Derry in the All-Ireland semi-final, destroying the Oak Leaf county by 52 points.
John Walsh comes into the side in place of Darren Mullen. Walsh was the hero of the hour when the counties met three years ago in the minor final, scoring 2-05 to help his team to victory.
Kilkenny have eight starters from the side who beat the Treaty County that day.
Limerick also conquered their own province, edging past Cork in the final, and then had to go to the well to beat Galway in the their All-Ireland last-four clash.
Cian Lynch and Kyle Hayes are both fit to start for them after overcoming injury niggles and they are unchanged from the last day.
