Eamon O'Shea and his selectors have decided to stick with a winning formula for Sundays All Ireland senior hurling final against Kilkenny.
They have named the same starting fifteen which lined out against Cork in the semi-final.
Defender Michael Cahill misses out yet again, after suffering a setback in his recovery from a knee injury.
Eight of the fifteen started in the 2011 defeat to the Cats, while Darren Gleeson, Cathal Barrett, James Barry, Kieran Bergin and John O'Dwyer will all be making their first All Ireland senior final appearances.
Thousands of people turned out in Semple Stadium last night to watch the Tipp senior hurlers final training session ahead of their eagerly final on Sunday.
With old rivals Kilkenny providing the opposition once again manager Eamon O’Shea says the fans support will be vital.
