OTB Sports Breakfast: Return of the Premier League, Six Nations round two, GAA w/ Shane Curran & The Crappy Quiz

Adrian Barry and Eoin Sheahan are live for OTB AM ahead of the second round of the TikTok Six Nations and the finals of the Allianz Hurling Leagues on Saturday.

It is League final weekend in the GAA, meaning that Shane Curran will join the lads on Friday's OTB AM to preview the weekend's football action.

It is also the return of the Premier League from the international break. With questions around Mo Salah's future, as well as the other talking points around the League, Mark Lawrenson will be live to discuss all of the hottest football talking points.

Ireland face their toughest challenge of the TikTok Six Nations so far, as they will be in Toulouse to face France on Saturday. Additionally, it is the biggest derby of the men's interpros this weekend, with Munster hosting Leinster in the URC on Saturday night. Alan Quinlan will be live to preview the action.

Finally, it is April Fool's Day, so what better way to end the show than with the Crappy Quiz?

Is the 'Párc Ui Rinn or nowhere saga' the best name we can come up with?

Off the back of the Cork statement late on Thursday night, Adrian and Eoin discussed the latest in the Páirc Uí Rinn, Ed Sheeran saga. Can Cork financially afford to lose the revenue from a home game? And perhaps most importantly, what is the smartest, most punny name we can use for this saga?

Cork's debt cannot be ignored by the players | Who is taking the Division 2 final?

Former Roscommon goalkeeper Shane Curran joined the lads on Friday to discuss the Division 2 Football final, however they were side tracked by the Cork-Kerry news.

Curran feels that the players and management cannot run parallel to the financial issues facing Cork.

If Mo Salah leaves Liverpool will not win the Premier League | Mark Lawrenson

The Premier League returns to action after the international break. That means that Mark Lawrenson returned to OTB AM.

The Liverpool legend discussed the ongoing frustration around Mo Salah's Liverpool contract, before moving on to England's perennial lightning rod of criticism, Harry Maguire. Lawrenson believes that Maguire gets too much criticism, and that he could play for any other top team.

'Parsons is too good to be on the bench' and why can't Munster sell out Thomond Park?

Ireland take on France in Toulouse on Saturday, with an unchanged XV slightly surprising Alan Quinlan. He believes that Beibhinn Parsons not starting has to mean something, as she is just too good to be on the bench.

Later in the day, Munster host Leinster in the biggest interpro derby on the island. However, what concerns Quinlan is that the match in Thomond Park is still not sold out.

The return of the king to The Crappy Quiz!

It was the return of the legend, the king, the former champion currently not recognised in the history books... Angry Producer Mick McCarthy!  The Crappy Quiz came with all of the usual controversy, with a bit of an April Fools twist on Friday.
