Davies fronts Rugby Special with Ireland's Keith Wood

Jonathan Davies retired from the game of rugby in 1997 having reached the pinnacle of both the Union and League codes.

The young Davies made his name at club level with Neath and Llanelli before taking the revered Welsh No.10 jersey for his international debut against England in 1985.

His try and drop goal in Wales' 24-15 win that day marked the start of a career in top level rugby that took him around the world - and in an even greater move - across codes to rugby league.

In league Davies represented Widnes, Warrington and Great Britain, and was twice voted rugby league's players player of the year.

Davies returned to rugby union in 1995 with Cardiff, adding five caps to his tally of 27.

For the last few years Davies has been regular rugby analyst on BBC television and radio, presenting Scrum V with Rugby Special colleague Eddie Butler and covering rugby union and league on Grandstand
