Carlow are the opposition for Declan Kelly's side.
Offaly will continue their defence of their provincial and all-Ireland crown this evening when Carlow visit the Faithful Fields.
The defending champions needed all of their mettle last weekend to see off a talented Louth side and on paper, they'll be expected to advance with less fuss tonight.
Declan Kelly makes a couple of changes for the last eight tie with Daingean's Cathal Ryan and Fionn Dempsey of Bracknagh inserted into the starting XV.
Clara's Geordi O'Meara drops to the bench. Cormac Egan was named to start a week ago but he's now been ruled out of the championship causing some positional switches.

Fionn Dempsey will play wing-forward and Cormac Delaney shifts into the corner to partner Keith O'Neill and Daragh Flynn at the edge of the square.
Carlow are yet to play in the championship so come into the game as a bit of an unknown quantity.
A win tonight and Offaly will advance to a last four tie away to either Kildare or Laois in seven days time.
Throw-in at the Faithful Fields tonight is at 7:30pm.
