OTB Breakfast Bite: Paddy Andrews on why...

OTB Sports
About this episode

Welcome to Tuesday's OTB Breakfast Bite - your bitesize sample of this morning's Off The Ball Breakfast.

The seven-time All-Ireland winning Dublin footballer Paddy Andrews joined Ger and Arthur on this morning's show as our co-host!

Things got started with another Dublin GAA man Ryan O'Dwyer jumping into studio to tell us how the Dublin hurlers should go this season, before explaining how much pressure his fellow native Tipperary hurling supporters will be putting on Liam Cahill.

The Leicester Tigers Head Coach Michael Cheika joined us next to discuss Ireland's upcoming Six Nations clash with England, before giving a pretty definitive answer to the notion that he could be tempted down to Munster.

Finally, OTB's GAA correspondent Tommy Rooney was on hand with his official Gaelic Football Power Rankings!

Up first though, we'll hear what Paddy makes of Dublin's chances this year now that Stephen Cluxton has decided to stay on for another year (at least), before Tommy tries to justify his decision for some inaction on this morning's Power Rankings.
