Limerick have made two changes to their All-Ireland semi-final team for Sunday’s final against Galway, while Galway’s named team shows no changes from the side that began the handsome win over Cork.
Captain Cian Lynch has been restored to the 15 in place of Darragh O’Donovan and Mike Casey comes in at full-back for Dan Morrissey having replaced him against Clare.
It’s the first time John Kiely has made changes to a team from an All-Ireland semi-final. Both O’Donovan and Morrissey were replaced last Sunday week.
It means Limerick have four All-Ireland winning starters on the substitutes bench on Sunday – the Morrissey brothers, Darragh O’Donovan and David Reidy.
