Waterford hurlers will aim to preserve their unbeaten record in Division 1(A) of the Allianz National league this afternoon
The Déise travel to face All-Ireland champions Tipperary who have just one win to date in the campaign
Waterford have defeated Cork, Westmeath and Galway in the opening three rounds and last weekend's home win over the Tribesmen virtually selaed a place in the Quarter-Finals
Fourmilewater defender Shane Ryan will make his League debut with Stephen O'Keeffe, Michael Kearney, Peter Hogan and Dessie Hutchinson all returning to the starting fifteen
Déise boss Liam Cahill comes up against his former team-mate Liam Sheedy on the line this afternoon, and Cahill says he has huge respect for the Premier boss; "he always brought what was his character out onto the field which is enthusiasm, aggression and passion, so that's what's going to happen again the weekend - you'll see all of that in a Tipperary team and you'll see it again as the Championship progresses so we just got to be ready for that".
The action in Semple Stadium is underway @ 2pm, WLR will broadcast the game live thanks to George Corbett Skoda, with commentary team Kieran O' Connor and Eoin Murphy.

Meanwhile, the re-scheduled South-East derby in Division 4 of the Allianz Football League takes place this afternoon.
Waterford welcome Carlow to Fraher Field for the fifth round clash, with the Déise hoping to build on their first win of the campaign away to Sligo last weekend.
The game was due to go ahead last night, but was pushed back to this afternoon due to Storm Jorge.
The visitors are just above Waterford on the table with three points on the board.
Throw-in is at 2 pm, and we'll be keeping an eye on the action here on WLR.
Best of Luck to both our Senior Hurling and Football panels in today Allianz League games!#Deiseabú pic.twitter.com/gyt7T8WaHX
