About this episode

This is Thursday's OTB Breakfast Bite, your FREE bitesize sample of this morning's Off The Ball Breakfast.

On this morning's show we looked ahead to Ireland's Six Nations game away to Italy with former Azzurri back turned truck driver, Mirco Bergamasco.

Day 3 of the Cheltenham Festival was previewed from Prestbury Park by John Duggan.

Leitrim senior men’s football manager Steven Poacher chats about his first season in charge of the team.

And we were joined by European Indoor gold medalist Sarah Healy following her sensational 3000m victory.

And that's where we take this morning's Bite, as Ger and Colm catch up with Healy. But first, Mirco Bergamasco gives his view of this Saturday's game in Rome.
