Tipperary have made five changes to their side to face Dublin in their qualifier group game against Dublin at Parnell Park on Saturday.

Paul Curran returns to the fold after recovering from a broken toe. The Mullinahone clubman comes in at left corner-back for the injured Diarmuid Fitzgerald.

Shane Maher makes his Championship debut at left half-back, while team captain Benny Dunne, Lar Corbett and Willie Ryan are back in the starting line-up after missing out for the hard-fought win over Offaly.

That means Shane McGrath, James Woodlock, Pa Bourke and Liam Cahill are named among the substitutes.

Dublin have made three changes, with Philip Brennan, Keith Dunne and Alan McCrabbe are in the starting XV.

Ger O'Meara, Padraig O'Driscoll and Liam Ruan are the players who miss out.

Tipperary (SHC): G Kennedy; E Buckley, D Fanning, P Curran; E Corcoran, C O’Mahony, S Maher; H Maloney, B Dunne; F Devanney, R O’Dwyer, L Corbett; S Butler, E Kelly, W Ryan.

Dublin: G Maguire; P Brennan, S Hiney, T Brady; M Carton, R Fallon, K Ryan; J Boland, A McCrabbe; R O'Carroll, D Qualter, K Dunne; J Kelly, D Curtin, K Flynn.
