This is what happened when Mike Phillips taught Adam Jones Welsh as legend gets tearful

Mike Phillips has been teaching fellow Wales legend Adam Jones how to speak Welsh and the Harlequins coach became tearful when the pair took a trip down memory lane.

The pair took part in S4C's 'Iaith ar Daith' a programme (which you can watch here), which sees six celebrities attempt to learn the Welsh language across the course of the series. In this week's edition it was Jones' turn as the iconic, frizzy-haired front row ventured across south Wales completing a plethora of activities with British & Irish Lions team-mate Phillips.

Being a fluent Welsh speaker, Phillips was assigned the role of mentor. Jones had been learning Welsh for four weeks and explained that he felt a jealousy of those who were able to speak it.
