Kilkenny name their team tonight for Sunday’s Allianz League clash with Tipperary, in Thurles.

Lar Corbett, John O'Brien, Pa Bourke, Eoin Kelly and Conor O'Mahony are among the senior players that are recalled to the starting side in response to Tipp’s opening round defeat to Cork.

In the lead in to this game Premier boss Eamon O'Shea said the loss to Cork was down to him, as they haven't done much hurling work this year. Former Tipp star John Leahy was speaking to Newstalk’s Oisin Langan today and he sees it differently. Leahy says it's the players who must take responsibility.
