About this episode

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

On this morning's show, former Ireland forward Hannah O'Connor joined Ger Gilroy and Colm Boohig to look ahead to Leinster's Champions Cup semi final with Northampton Saints on Saturday.

Kilkenny legend Tommy Walsh also joined the duo to talk the issue of diving in hurling, and is 'soccer' the genesis of it?

But this morning's Bite starts with debate over the rumour that Jordie Barrett will only start from the bench for Leo Cullen's side on Saturday.
