Liam Cahill's side take on Waterford tomorrow and if they win will book their place in the last four of the provincial competition.
However, defeat would mean playing Clare in a play-off in Ennis next month.
Meanwhile, the Tipp team to take on the Deise has been named.
Brian McGrath from Loughmore-Castleiney assumes the captaincy as regular skipper Gavin Ryan from St Mary's is ruled out through injury.
In all there are eight surviving members in Saturday's match day 24 from last year's All-Ireland Final squad with 3 of those – Brian McGrath, Cian Darcy and Lyndon Fairbrother – the only ones to start in that All-Ireland Final.
Throw-in tomorrow at Walsh Park is at 2 o'clock.
