New series of Jonathan as the Six Nations Tournament kicks off

With the Six Nations Tournament about to kick off, join Jonathan Davies, Nigel Owens and Sarra Elgan for a new series of Jonathan on Friday, 3 February.

The first programme will bring laughs galore, physical challenges and hilarious banter as Wales prepare for their first match of the campaign, against Ireland.

"There will be plenty of excitement surrounding this game. Ireland will be seeking revenge after Wales beat them in the Rugby World Cup quarter finals in October and the Welsh team will be out to prove their success in the competition wasn't a fluke," says presenter Sarra Elgan.

"Of course Shane Williams (now retired from international rugby) will be missed tremendously. Not only will the team miss his experience and reliable presence on the field - but his personality and character off the field, too.

"But the team is full of young, enthusiastic lads, and although the players and supporters will miss Shane's magic - these boys are the future and they'll want to prove that Welsh rugby is safe in their hands," says Sarra.

As well as presenting on Jonathan, Sarra is also busy supporting Sport Relief. "When I was asked to support this year's Sport Relief I was over the moon. I've always admired the good work they do and I've been lucky enough to visit Tŷ Gwyn in Cardiff- a special school, catering for children with special needs which has benefitted financially from Sport Relief.

"Meeting the children was such a fantastic experience and I saw the toys and equipment bought by Sport Relief. I hope everyone will support the campaign because it makes such a difference to so many people, not only around the world but also here in Wales."

In the first programme of the series, Jonathan's special guests are international rugby legend Gerald Davies, who won 46 international caps between 1966 and 1978, and actor Gwyn Elfyn, better known as Denzil in Pobol y Cwm, a character he played for over 27 years.

The three competitive presenters will step onto the ice with the Cardiff Devils ice hockey team and take part in a challenge against the first team's goalkeeper. The series also sees the return of Rhian 'Madam Rygbi' Davies who will offer a taste of the match-day excitement.
