KILKENNY have made two changes on their team for the top of the table clash against Tipperary in the National Hurling League at Nowlan Park on Sunday. Former All Star Pat O'Neill returns for his first match of the year, as does Adrian Ronan. The players who make way are Dan O'Neill and Patrick Farrell.

Tipperary, who will name their team tonight, have Aidan Ryan available for selection. Ryan missed Tipperary's win over Clare because of a family bereavement, but he is included in a full strength squad for Sunday's encounter.
