Mark Dowd has made no changes to Roscommon's starting 15 for the visit of Tyrone in the opening round of the All-Ireland SFC at King and Moffatt Dr. Hyde Park on Sunday.

Once again, the Roscommon manager has resisted the temptation to start players like Daire Cregg, Ruaidhrí Fallon and Brian Stack by placing his belief in the players that did the business during the recent Connacht championship victories against Galway and Mayo.

However, there is one change among the substitutes, with Clann na nGael's Ultan Harney coming into the match-day 26 to replace Jack Duggan.
