The two sides will meet in a provincial clash for the third year in a row, with Limerick having gotten the better of the Premier County, on their way to the Munster title last year.
Cathal Barrett, James Barry and Niall O'Meara will all be making their Championship debuts for Tipp, while Gearóid Ryan replaces Denis Maher, in the only change from the side that played in the league final.
Throw-in at Semple Stadium is at 4 o' clock- you can hear the game LIVE on Tipp FM this afternoon, with our build-up beginning from 3:30.
We'll also have updates on the Intermediate Hurling Semi between the two counties, which throws-in in Thurles at 2:00.
