KIERAN BERGIN IS the only change in the Tipperary team for tomorrow’s All-Ireland SHC Round 2 qualifier.
The Premier face Offaly in O’Moore Park, Portlaoise (7pm), in a game that is live on Sky Sports.
Bergin replaces Ronan Maher in midfield, mirroring the change made by Eamon O’Shea at half-time against Galway last week.
Offaly have also made one change from the side which scored a two-point win over Antrim in Ballycastle in the last round.
Birr’s Emmet Nolan makes his first Championship start at wing-back, replacing Ger Healion.
Meanwhile, Tipp football manager Peter Creedon has named an unchanged side for their Round 3A qualifier against Laois (4.45pm).
