Philly McMahon returns to the Dublin defence for tomorrow's Leinster SFC semi-final against Meath at Croke Park.

Tom Lahiff and Colm Basquel have also been drafted in by manager Dessie Farrell. Lahiff retains his place at wing back after replacing the injured Robbie McDaid during the quarter-final win over Wexford, while McMahon's inclusion at corner back sees his namesake Sean McMahon switch to the half back line and James McCarthy move to midfield in place of Peadar Ó Cofaigh-Byrne.

The other alteration sees Colm Basquel replace his brother Ryan in an attack which is once again notable for the absence of Dean Rock.

Dublin (SF v Meath): Evan Comerford; Michael Fitzsimons, David Byrne, Philly McMahon; Tom Lahiff, Brian Howard, Sean McMahon; Brian Fenton, James McCarthy; Colm Basquel, Ciaran Kilkenny, Niall Scully; Paddy Small, Con O'Callaghan, Cormac Costello.
