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

On this morning's show, former Scotland captain Greig Laidlaw helped us look ahead to Sunday's game with Ireland at Murrayfield.

We also heard from The Roar's Christy Doran for immediate reaction to the news that Joe Schmidt will leave Australia after the Lions tour.

Martin Lipton joined us after Arsenal saw the chance for another trophy slip away on Tyneside.

And a very special edition of 'You Had To Be There' came from the man responsible for The Day Today, the birth of Alan Partridge, The Thick Of It, Veep and now the stage production of Dr Strangelove - Armando Iannucci.

And it's there we take our Bite this morning, with some of Armando's chat with Ger and Colm. And we also sample the Scotland-Ireland chat with Greig.
