BBC were forced to remove pundit Jonathan Davies from the commentary box mid-way through France vs Wales as he was losing his voice live on air.
The popular former Wales star was taking on his usual co-commentator role alongside Eddie Butler and Brian Moore in Paris when it quickly became clear something wasn’t right.

Nigel Owens BRILLIANTLY our-witted by Prince Phillip over lunch
Jiffy struggled to get his words out as his croaky tones became almost inaudible to millions of TV viewers.
Mid-way through the first half he was pulled from commentary with things getting no better for the Welshman as his side lost in overtime.
Get well soon from your mates at RUCK!

#RBS6Nations Poor Jiffy seems to be struggling. Is there a finisher on the bench for him?
