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 is the rugby section of the show where were talk to our regular rugby analyst, Ireland and Ulster legend Stephen Ferris. This week, Stephen tries to diagnose what exactly is wrong with Ireland as we face what has now become a crucial game in Cardiff this weekend. 
He also makes his pick for the game, having nailed his selection on each week of the show so far!
