Limerick have made three changes in personnel from the team which lost to Galway for Sunday's All-Ireland SHC quarter-final against Kilkenny at Croke Park.
Michael Clifford, Paudie O'Dwyer and Donal O'Grady all miss out and are replaced by Paudie Reale, back after injury, James O'Brien and Michael Cahill, starting in this season's championship for the first time.
Niall Moran switches to midfield in place of the injured Donal O'Grady, while Andrew O'Shaughnessy starts at left corner-forward.
It marks a change in position for the Kilmallock youngster, as he had previously played in the half-forward line.
Limerick (SH v Kilkenny): T Houlihan; P Reale, S Lucey, M Foley; O Moran, B Geary, P Lawlor; P O'Grady, N Moran; D Ryan, J O'Brien, M Cahill; P Kirby, TJ Ryan, A O'Shaughnessy.
