Lions XV named for 1st Test, Shels' European run still alive, the Open gets underway | Morning Papers on Off The Ball Breakfast

Ger Gilroy, Colm Boohig and Arthur James O'Dea were joined by Nathan Murphy to run through all the morning's sports news on Off The Ball Breakfast.

First point of business this morning was the Lions team named to take on Australia this weekend in the first test of the series. Andy Farrell didn't make too many surprising decisions with his starting XV and bench, but the selection of Marcus Smith left Ger... perplexed.

After that, Nathan Murphy joined us from Belfast where he was watching Shelbourne overcome Linfield in their first Champions League qualifier last night. And the lads queried why this game was not available for Irish football fans to watch last night!

Finally, as the Open Championship got underway in Portrush this morning, Nathan brought us all the latest news before he made his way over to the course to cover the event this weekend.
