Kilkenny manager Derek Lyng has rung the changes from the Tipperary league defeat for tomorrow's round 3 meeting with Laois.
Only Cillian Buckley, Padraig Walsh, Paddy Deegan, Billy Ryan , Billy Drennan and Martin Keoghan have retained their places from that home loss as Derek Lyng opts to change things up a bit.

Eoin Murphy is back in goal while there's a completely new full back line that includes Shane Murphy and Conor Delaney.
Up front there's also big changes with John Donnelly and Geraoid Dunne rewarded with a place in the starting 15 after good recent performances.
