Pat Ryan has rung the changes for Cork's pivotal Munster SHC clash against Clare in Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Sunday.
The Rebels have six changes to the side which lost to Waterford in Walsh Park, with Niall O'Leary, Eoin Downey, Tim O’Mahony, Ethan Twomey, Declan Dalton and Brian Hayes all coming into the side for the visit of Clare.
Ger Millerick, Damien Cahalane, Mark Coleman, Tommy O'Connell, Seán Twomey and Conor Lehane are the players to make way, all six named on the bench.
Shane Kingston, absent from the panel for the loss in Walsh Park due to a hamstring injury, is back available though is held in reserve.
