Colm Collins and ร‰amonn Fitzmaurice have announced their starting fifteens for Sundayโ€™s Munster SFC semi-final in Killarney.

Collins has gone for an unchanged side from that which defeated Limerick by twelve points in their championship opener two weeks ago. Meelickโ€™s Kevin Hartnett was reported to be back training having missed the entire league but he hasnโ€™t been deemed fit enough to be included at full-back.
