Tadhg de Burca returns to the Waterford team to face Galway in the Allianz Hurling League Division 1 semi-final at Nowlan Park on Sunday (throw-in  3.30pm).

The Clashmore clubman was an absent figure in Pauric Fanning's side for last weekend's 14-point win over Clare. However, he is back at centre-back for the Deise ahead of the 2017 All-Ireland final repeat with the Tribesmen in Kilkenny.

Fanning has also handed starting berths to Colin Dunford and Thomas Ryan in attack.

Waterford (Allianz HL v Galway): Stephen O'Keeffe; Shane McNulty, Calum Lyons, Noel Connors; Philip Mahony, Tadhg de Burca, Kevin Moran; Jamie Barron, Austin Gleeson; Colin Dunford, Mikey Kearney, Pauric Mahony; Thomas Ryan, Stephen Bennett, Shane Bennett.
