Despised in some quarters in wales for crossing codes. But he did it to secure his family financially. Any father would do the same. The last of the great Welsh fly halves. What a try for Great Britain at Wembley against the Kangaroos

The dance, chip and chase ones for Wales RU around 0.48 and 0.57 don’t half remind me of the Bevan French efforts against Leigh and Hull KR recently for Wigan. Can’t coach stuff off the cuff ability like that

Also check out Christian Cullen (NZ) and Shane Williams ( wales)

World class in both codes, on his day he was unstoppable

It pains me that his best rugby years were in rugby league, what a talent Welsh rugby union lost. On the plus side I find it funny how he makes top professional players look foolish. I was lucky enough to go to the same school and play for the same club as him and witness him play for many years. Right up there with the best players I have ever seen in any code.

genius

His off the mark pace at that time was probably the best in world rugby

Remember the converts Billy Boston Wigan, Clive Sullivan Hull , Dai Watkins all great and many more Welsh converts .

🔥

Bendant un o'r gore!!

I have just had the pleasure of spending this Friday night on the piss with him in Spain for a corporate doo….. not only one of the best players (of both codes) but a truly lovely bloke….. living legend.

For me, THE best Union to League convert of the lot. Had it all. Pace, awareness, tough as teak and a game winner. What a player!

Wheels!

0:36 Renouf and Mullins are no slouches! Shows how quick Davies really was.

Greatest ever player across both codes. What a player 👏

One of greatest rugby vids on RUclips

I saw him play “live” many many times. He was magical to watch just like Offiah and for different reasons Kurt sorenson. My Widnes lads of the early 90s were amazing to watch but Wigan had that Indian sign o er us as did Leeds sometimes. I loved the premiership final against Bradford northern which I watched from one of the best old standing areas ever created the old old Trafford paddock. Wonderful times. Wonderful player. Thanks Jonathan.

What a player.

Wasn’t sure at first of this compilation but well done. Great stuff

shame the music ruins it. much better hearing the commentators

A great player but no real success in union. Rugby league established him as a world class player.

You hear this Bull dust , players Of Yesteryear , Phillip Bennett , Gareth Edwards , would Not make It today , well that blow out the park Look at Davis , he not Big but Class Is Class any Era , the modern Training Would just make them Better , and they We're real men who held down real Jobs JPR Williams , played rugby for his country Then work as a Doctor , I know this He set my Brothers arm after he broke it After playing for Wales two Days before 1976 I think long time ago ,

Unfortunate that the Welsh union national side was very weak during his career. Could have achieved even more.

Genius...and quick 😄

Fantastic. All the vision and skills but with unreal pace, both from off the mark and when going up a gear in full flight. Great upload - thanks.

I would go as far to say Billie Slater was the closest thing to the modern day Jonathan Davies. Super tries. Superb video.

Great player crap human.

This is the guy i thought of when i first saw christen cullen play

Wales really could use a 10 like him now,,cos we are shockingly bad!

Great player. Awful whiny voice. Can't bear his commentary

One of the all time greats in the world , he had it all !

Great to see both league and union fans agreeing on how good he was. He was brilliant.

MAGNIFICENT! He had the pace of Barry John and the creativity of Mark Ella.

While Phil Bennet for me was the greatest flyhalf.. Davis was the complete player, turn a game in an instant.. some of his touch finders from the old wales days were sublime…

a few years in league made him better, fitter and sharper. but 10 years was too much

if union had stopped all the nonsense(when were the all blacks amateur?) and gone pro a few years earlier, he would have gone back immediately. you would then have seen him at his best. he would have been the greatest. when he went back, by his own admission, he was past it. shame. he belonged on the biggest stage, and league was never going to give him that.

Wow....... Superb!!

Pure magic. John, Edwards, Bennet and Davies. Jeez, Wales were blessed with mercurial players. These guys could not only control a game, but also were spectacular in attack. You just don’t get that in modern rugby players these days.

What a player!

Wire legend.

Such a shame rugby union audiences were denied seeing him play when he left for the other code.

Such a gifted player and intelligent TV commentator and pundit. One of my favourite Welsh rugby players - his try against the Kangaroos where he ran around Bret Mullins was one of the best, Mullins was frequently doing that to opposition players himself (he was freakishly fast) and for someone to do it against him was inconceivable.

3:00 brilliant timing on the edit, WOOO!

Right up there with the best of all time. Running lines, timing, hands, vision, but the wheels oh my days the wheels JD. Electric to watch.

He could break tackles as well as sidestep and swerve a wonderful player.

I'd forgotten how quick he was. The best ever. And I'm English...

Ahead of his time loved to watch him play from SA 🇿🇦🇿🇦

The best ever. You can argue Barry John, Dan Carter and a few others... But imagine this beast playing behind the Forwards those two were gifted with. Jiffy proved his worth when he went to RL (to the eternal shame of the small minded Narcissists of the WRU).. In good teams, Jonathon Davies was unplayable. Then.... off to Australia he pops.... "Nah warries sport, we'll put this drongo in traction" said the Aussies ...They couldnt get near him

smokin... dancin feet

David campazee said there was only one player who could get him into a league game and that was jiffy said he was a magican
