Saturday's All-Ireland SHC semi-final replay will mark the seventh time this season that Waterford have lined-out at Semple Stadium.
Derek McGrath's team meet champions Kilkenny for the second time in six days after last Sunday's thrilling clash at Croke Park finished all square (1-21 to 0-24), with the GAA selecting Thurles as the neutral venue for the replay.
The Deise men have already played two of their four championship outings this summer at the Tipperary venue, along with four league games prior to those.
Kilkenny's only visit to 'the home of hurling' this season was in a Division One semi-final against Clare, where they were comprehensively beaten on a 4-22 to 1-19 score-line.
Throw-in at Semple Stadium on Saturday is at 6.45pm
