All-Ireland champions Tipperary have made three changes for Sunday's Munster hurling quarter final against Cork in Thurles.

After the Allianz League final defeat to Galway, manager Michael Ryan brings John O'Keefe in at corner back for the injured Michael Cahill, who misses out with a hamstring problem.

Seamus Callanan is fit to start after overcoming a broken hand, he comes in for Steven O'Brien, while Sean Curran replaces the suspended Jason Forde.

Patrick "Bonner" Maher has also missed out on a starting role, having picked up a hamstring injury while on club duty recently.

Sunday's side contains 13 members of Tipp's All-Ireland final winning line-up from last September.

Meanwhile Cork boss Kieran Kingston has given five players their first championship starts for the game in Thurles.

Mark Coleman and Shane Kingston both start, having featured off the bench before, while Colm Spillane, Darragh Fitzgibbon and Luke Meade all get their first taste of championship action.

Don’t forget Championship Sunday with SKY Sports returns at 9am this Sunday on Today FM for the next 18 weeks.

Paul Collins is in the chair as always, with special guests live in studio, interviews, tickets for Tipperary v Cork to be won and the craic of the day.
