Rest in peace Eddie the voice of Welsh rugby
I'm English, for me he's the voice of Rugby in general. It will never be the same.

@@flaproulette A voice from wales who's echo stretched far beyond Wales.
Found this today on hearing the news that Eddie Butler has died. An epic voice. RIP.
Eddie Butler - the Pride of Wales.
No one will ever get me pumped up for the match the way Eddie butlers commentary did, I watch this before going to watch Wales every time🏴. Rest In Peace
As soon as I heard his voice I teared up a bit. What a tragic loss. Rest in peace, Eddie Butler.
A legend. I get goosebumps everytime I hear his voice. Will be sadly missed
No doubt the dragon flew extra high in the sky to get this Welsh legend to heaven he deserves, Thank you Eddie and RIP 🏴
I'm a Cornishman with a dad born in Swansea and I found this at the end of the Scrum V tribute to Eddie. It's a beautifully written piece by a man with a wonderful command of language.... and it made me cry..... God rest ya Eddie
His intros to the six nations gave me chills.
Eddie Butler, a voice from Wales whose echo stretched far beyond Wales.
Eddie's voice will never be forgotten. Ruhe in Frieden
To think this was just the script for a TV trailer ... but Eddie created a scintillating poem on modern Welsh culture and character. Eddie was a remarkable writer, broadcaster and orator. Uniquely talented among sports journalists. It is so saddening that we've lost him. I hope the BBC have properly archived all the montage voiceover scripts he created - across many sports. I could listen to them again and again, as well as his many history documentaries. RIP Eddie, a true Welsh Great.
R.I.P Eddie a true Welsh legend and a lovely bloke. I met him once and he was such a pleasant guy. He will be sadly missed.
Eddie Butler a brilliant wordsmith, with a sublime voice and a wonderful man, I can't believe he's gone.
His son Jack was a friend of mine at Newcastle University. Just read this news on BBC. So incredibly sad. He was the voice of Rugby and filled us with so many happy memories. May he rest in peace.
Bless you Eddie. Listening to the rugby won't be the same without you. RIP
The six nations will never be the same again. 😢 His voice was such a special part of the tournament.

The six nations will not be the same without you.

"England, what have you done? Wales, what are you doing?"

My wife told me he had died. I didn’t know his name, I would t have recognised him in the street, but to know we will never hear that voice again, that is sad. Really sad. RIP 🏴

eddie got a bad press from ignorant people who thought he was pro-english(judging by his commentary) if only they knew RIP EDWARD.
Passionate celt.. close to Bill Maclaren with heart and voice. We'll not hear his likes again
Eddie is up there with Nisbett when it comes to calling rugby tests.
Collad mawr dim just I cymru ond I rugby hefyd.

Eddie, the voice of Wales. It's going to be an emotional day 😢. We should honour Eddie by beating Wales. Never an easy fixture.
Lets do it for Wales. Wales v England 27/2/ 2021.
Lets do it one more time for Wales. Beat France for the Big Slam! 20th March 2021.

Can anyone tell me the piece of music playing during this?
Time - Hans Zimmer
Eddie is a mash up of Dylan Thomas and Max Boyce….
Brilliant commentator and orator will be a huge loss to sport
