The Buildup is our new weekly podcast, with Ladbrokes, where we preview all the major sporting action for the weekend ahead. We'll be building the hype, whetting the appetite and making some bold predictions for everything that's happening.
This week, regular rugby correspondent, Ireland and Ulster legend Stephen Ferris looks ahead to Ireland's visit to Twickenham this weekend, and talks about the value of World Cup warm-up games and how Irish players on the cusp of the squad need to seriously up the intensity in this game. 
If you want to listen to the entire show, which includes previews and tips on the weekend's football, the All-Ireland Ladies' Football semi-finals and The Tour Championship, subscribe to The Buildup on Balls.ie podcast feed or the general Balls.ie feed.
