With nothing to lose, you would imagine it's The Rebel's who would benefit from upsetting the smooth and predictable build up to the game, anything to throw the Kingdom off.
Now with the team news released, there are some changes that benefit both sides.
In the half-back line, Éire Óg’s John Cooper and Castlehaven’s Rory Maguire will make their full senior championship debuts, while Steven Sherlock of The Barrs and Cathail O’Mahony from Mitchelstown receive their first starts at this level.
Sherlock in particular has been bubbling nicely for Cork after enjoying a hugely successful club campaign with St Finbarr's, who beat Kerry's Austin Stacks in the Munster final.
Better news for those in red and white though, is that Sherlock's club mate, Ian Maguire, is now available to play, after initially being ruled out with injury.

Stefan Okunbor has been named on the bench, meaning that he is primed to make his championship debut if brought on, and David Moran is also available to use as a substitute, if Kerry so choose.
