Tipperary v Dublin throw-in time, date, TV channel information, betting odds and more

Colm Bonnar's Tipperary welcome an in-form Dublin to Semple Stadium this Saturday evening as the Allianz Hurling Leagues continue.

After taking last weekend off, the small ball is back with a bang as the Thurles showdown takes centre stage before Sunday's games.

And Tipp come into the game in a strong position after they got the job done at Laois on the opening weekend.

But what will impress new boss Bonnar was how his side overcame bitter rivals Kilkenny the following week as a late Jason Forde free was enough to see off the Cats.

But they face a tough challenge in Dublin, who won this year's Walsh Cup before picking up a draw with Waterford and dismissing a stubborn Antrim challenge the following week.
