## Resource

Jonathan Davies represented Wales in both codes - rugby union and rugby league as well as Great Britain AND a Question of Sport alongside Ian Botham and Bill Beaumont (poor bloke). Reflecting on the current state of rugby both domestically and on the international scene, what Wales need to improve and what makes South Africa so good, Jonathan also reminisces about his time as a player, how he handled Aussie 'sledging' and his days on A Question of Sport that included scooping up elephant poo at Chester zoo!
