The Buildup is 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 with Stephen Ferris who looks back on Ireland's disaster of a World Cup and asks where do we go from here? He also looks ahead and makes his picks for this weekend's semi-finals. 
If you want to listen to the entire show, which includes Kevin Doyle discussing Tottenham's woes ahead of their trip to Anfield, our NFL picks, and much more including a look ahead to the NBA season, subscribe to The Buildup on Balls.ie podcast feed or the general Balls.ie feed.
