Tipperary boss Michael Ryan has made two changes in personnel for Saturday's All-Ireland SHC Qualifier meeting with Dublin in Thurles.

Jason Forde and John McGrath have been recalled with the latter's brother Noel being one of the players to drop out after last weekend's less than convincing nine-point win over Westmeath at Semple Stadium.

Forde, who will make his first championshp start of the season after missing the Munster quarter-final defeat to Cork due to suspension, is picked at wing-forward as Michael Breen moves to midfield.

Scorer of 1-1 off the bench against the Lake County, John McGrath returns at corner-forward in place of Niall O'Meara who went off with an ankle injury after the Loughmore-Castleiney clubman's introduction the last day.

Tipperary (All-Ireland SHC v Dublin): Daragh Mooney; Donagh Maher, Tomas Hamill, James Barry; Joe O'Dwyer, Ronan Maher, Padraic Maher; Brendan Maher, Michael Breen; Jason Forde, Patrick Maher, Dan McCormack; John O'Dwyer, Seamus Callanan, John McGrath.
