The Buildup, in association with Ladbrokes, is our weekly podcast where we get you hyped for the sporting weekend in the company of Ladbrokes ambassadors Kevin Doyle, Stephen Ferris and Jason Quigley.

This is the rugby section of the show where Stephen Ferris joins us to look ahead to the return of the Six Nations and Ireland's game against Italy this Saturday, and the team picked by Andy Farrell which includes two brand new faces.
