Waterford hurlers will be hoping to make it a second successive victory in Division 1(A) of the Allianz Hurling league this afternoon.
The Déise will be strongly fancied to see off Westmeath in Cusack Park, Mullingar in their Round 2 encounter.
Waterford edged out Cork in the opening round last weekend, while the Lake county were well beaten by Galway in Salthill.
Billy Nolan, Shane Fives, Kieran Power, Mark O'Brien and Darragh Lyons have all gotten the nod from Liam Cahill who has made five changes from last weekend's win.
Former Déise hurler Stephen Molumphy is in as a selector this season, he says the win last weekend was an ideal start to the campaign; "It was good to get the win and it was important, but I suppose it's the performance you want and that consistency, you have to maintain that high level".
The action is underway at 2pm, WLR will bring you the game live thanks to George Corbett Skoda, with commentary team Kieran O' Connor and Michael Ryan.

Meanwhile, the Waterford footballers are also on the road this afternoon for Round 2 of the Allianz National league.
Benji Whelan's charges make the trip to Aughrim to take on Wicklow in the Division 4 encounter.
Both sides suffered narrow opening round defeats last weekend at the hands of Limerick and Carlow respectively.
Throw-in is at 2pm, and we'll keep you updated here on WLR across the afternoon.
