With no injury concerns ahead of Sunday's All-Ireland hurling final, Cork manager Donal O'Grady tonight named an unchanged side to face Kilkenny at Croke Park.
O'Grady has also resisted the temptation to tinker with his full-back line and Diarmuid O'Sullivan and Pat Mulcahy will start, on paper at least, in their usual positions of full back and left corner back.
Captain Alan Browne, one of eight survivors from Cork's last All-Ireland appearance four years ago, will once again lead out the same 15 that has started every match in the Rebel County's championship campaign.
Brian Cody is expected to announce the Kilkenny side for Sunday's showdown after training tomorrow night.
