A break in tradition will see the Hurling Team of the 1990s take the field at half-time on Sunday (the opportunity arises because Kilkenny won in 1992 and 1993) .

Selected by some of the media’s finest soldiers, the XV reflects the revolutionary era with a spread of champions and Limerick men.

Selectors: John Horan (Uachtarán CLG), Martin Breheny (Irish Independent), Sean Moran (Irish Times), Michael Lyster (RTÉ TV), Brian Carthy (RTÉ Radio), Jim O'Sullivan (formerly Irish Examiner), Martán Ó Ciardha (Iar RnaG), Sean Bán Breathnach (RnaG).
