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

On this morning's show Alan Quinlan was live in studio to talk yet another European defeat for Leinster, whilst comedian Dara O'Briain selected his top five 'You Had To Be There' moments.

Did Leinster take Northampton for granted? And is this defeat a worry for Irish rugby in general?

Dara O'Briain was perhaps Ireland's most famous fan at last summer's Olympics, but did any of those moments make his list?

But this morning's Bite starts Quinny analysing where it went wrong for the Boys in Blue on Saturday.

In this episode, Eoin brings you on an injury-delayed tour of Peru. 

There is the story of mountain climbing in Arequipa and how the political turmoil of 2022/23 affected the nation, while there is also an analysis of the societal divisions in Peru as represented by football.

We traipse up towards the Amazon river, taking in a massive John the Baptist celebration en route to a rickety boat along the river. Cocooned away from the world, the trip concludes with a mad chase to find phone coverage to see if Kerry have beaten Tyrone in the All-Ireland championship.

Before all that, there’s part seven of the Patagonian hitchhiking journey, our most in-depth, most chaotic, most turbulent instalment yet.
