Waterford's Noel Connors has been passed fit to play in Sunday's All-Ireland SHC semi-final against Kilkenny at Croke Park.

The experienced Passage player was forced to retire with a dead leg during the first half of the 2-21 to 1-19 All-Ireland quarter-final defeat of Dublin two weeks ago.

However, he is selected at left corner back once again as manager Derek McGrath names an unchanged side from the last outing.

McGrath has a full strength squad to choose from apart from Pauric Mahony who is out with a broken leg.

Waterford (SHC v Kilkenny) - Stephen O'Keeffe; Shane Fives, Barry Coughlan, Noel Connors; Tadhg de Búrca, Austin Gleeson, Philip Mahony; Jamie Barron, Darragh Fives; Kevin Moran, Shane Bennett, Jake Dillon; Maurice Shanahan, Michael Walsh, Colin Dunford.
