About this episode

Welcome to Wednesday's OTB Breakfast Bite - your FREE bitesize taster of this morning's full Off The Ball Breakfast.

This morning, Gavin Cooney looked back on an important night in the Premier League.

With Simon Easterby naming his Ireland Six Nations squad this afternoon, Matchsense's Derek McNamara assessed the runners and riders for inclusion.

And Marty Duffy gives the referee's view of the new Gaelic football rules.

But this morning's Breakfast Bite takes us back to the morning papers where Ger, Adrian and Arthur discuss Maro Itoje's chances of the Lions captaincy, the unique edge that comes with Wales fixtures, and their early predictions for this season's Six Nations.
