BBC pundits Jonathan Davies and Sam Warburton have paid touching tributes to the late great Eddie Butler, having worked alongside the former Wales captain turned commentator at the BBC.
Butler played 16 times for Wales between 1980 and 1984 and become a much-loved broadcaster for the BBC following his retirement. He tragically passed away last year at the age of 65 while on a charity trek in Peru and the BBC paid tribute to Butler ahead of the first Six Nations without him on commentary.
Former Wales fly-half Davies admitted it would be an emotional experience commentating on a Six Nations game without Butler alongside him. "Having spent 25 years with Eddie on a Friday and a Sunday, he was such a gentle, loving, caring man and so talented," he said.
