The Buildup, in association with Ladbrokes is our weekly podcast where we mark your card for the sporting action of the week ahead in the company of Ladbrokes ambassadors Kevin Doyle, Stephen Ferris, Jason Quigley, and other top sporting pundits. 
Stephen joins us this week ahead of Ireland's must win game with France in the Six Nations this weekend. He reflects on some of the over the top personal abuse that the likes of Peter O'Mahony and Billy Burns have suffered this week, and talks about his concerns about the game's return to play protocols for head injuries, as well as previewing all three Six Nations games this weekend. 
Get in touch with the show by emailing thegaffer@balls.ie or contact us @ballsdotie on Twitter or Instagram.
