Brian Cody’s senior side head to Croke Park in search of a 37th All-Ireland title and with Tipperary in the way at 3.30pm on Sunday.
Kilkenny’s first fifteen includes just the one change with Cillian Buckley returning to the starting fold.
The last time Kilkenny won the All-Ireland, in 2015, it was Joey Holden receiving the Liam McCarthy cup on the steps of the Hogan Stand.
TJ Reid didn’t get to do it in 2010 but he’s got a second bite at the cherry as captain this Sunday.
