Not a rugby fan but he always seemed a great sort and his voice had that brilliant quality of giving something gravitas without it feeling overdone or bombastic. Was the absolute perfect choice for the lead ins to the BBC nfl coverage.
Decent commentator until the last 5yrs or so when his quality dropped and his partisanship really came to the fore. His voice has become synonymous with the 5/6 nations and he seemed like a decent man outside of the sport. Won’t be the same listening to jiffy with someone else.
