2. Robert Doyle (Clonoulty Rossmore) Doyle had his most challenging outing of the campaign against Galway, but he will be required to find his earlier form this Sunday. There are no shortage of danger men to tag, but if I had to guess, I would imagine he will pick up Mossy Keoghan.

3. Eoghan Connolly (Cashel King Cormacs) He returned for a minor knock against Galway, and with that game under the belt and a few weeks or training, he will be sharper for it. The likelihood of TJ Reid inside will mean Connolly could have the job of curtailing the Kilkenny great. His duties could be varied on what way Derek Lyng lines up his team.

4. Michael Breen (Ballina) With the return of Eoin Cody expected on Sunday, the safe bet will be throwing Breen onto the Ballyhale man. Breen tagged TJ Reid to good effect in the league game earlier this year, but with the elusive pace and danger of Cody, it might be wise to have Breen pick him up.

5. Craig Morgan (Kilruane MacDonaghs) Has been an unsung hero throughout this year, slotting in from 2 to 8 across various games. He will likely fill the wing-back slot again here, and the job of nullifying Adrian Mullen may come with it.
