About this episode

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

This morning on the show, Tom English looked back on Celtic's heartbreaking exit from the Champions League.

We began our look ahead to the League of Ireland weekend with former goalkeeper Barry Murphy.

And we were also joined by writer Sam Peters, author of Concussed: Sports Uncomfortable Truth, joins Ger & Colm to take a deep dive into the issue of concussion in rugby.

And it's with rugby we take this morning's bite, looking ahead to the Calcutta Cup clash of England and Scotland with the BBC's Tom English, followed by a snippet of that chat with Sam Peters.
