This is Friday's OTB Breakfast Bite - your FREE bitesize taster of this morning's full Off The Ball Breakfast.

Former Republic of Ireland winger Keith Treacy was in the co-presenter's chair alongside Shane Hannon this morning, and they were joined by both Ronan O'Gara and Alan Quinlan to help look ahead to Ireland's game away to Italy.

Ex-Ireland full-back Chris Hughton walked us down memory lane with the 35th anniversary of Italia 90 on the horizon.

We previewed day 4 of the Cheltenham Festival with OTB's John Duggan.

And we looked back at Manchester United's Europa League win over Real Sociedad with Daniel Harris.

But this morning's Bite takes us first to Cagliari, Palermo, Genoa and Rome with Chris Hughton. Then we preview Italy-Ireland with Ronan O'Gara, and Alan Quinlan discusses those Jack Crowley links to Leicester.
