Sports commentator and former rugby star Jonathan Davies has been arrested for an assault after a late night incident outside a pub.

The familiar BBC rugby pundit was arrested in Mumbles, Swansea, south Wales, following a street disturbance last Sunday morning.

Davies, 49, had been on a popular local pub crawl known as the Mumbles Mile, taking in a series of seafront pubs, according to some reports.

The father of three was arrested in the early hours of Sunday outside a pub after an incident involving another man.

He was cautioned by police for common assault and later released.

"A 49-year-old man was arrested and cautioned. Another man was arrested but released without further action," a South Wales Police spokesman said.

Jiffy as he's known by us Rugby Fans is a great bloke - I hope this is not taken out of context
and it appears that there were others involved.
He was back comentating on the the Gwent Dragons match on Thursay night - so it can't be much.

People target ' TV people" like a bull to a red rag, as if its their right to talk to them and argue the case of a certain match/game....
If Davies reacted, it would be blown up all out of proportion as usual.

This man is the consumate professional. If there was a fracas outside a pub then he has obviously been relentlessly provoked. You know, we can all take crap up to a certain point. TV presenter or not, the man is only human. Mate, you have my full support.

Anybody who tells the truth,is a target for all the knumpties of this world. I hope the person that orchastrated this episode,is found soon. when he is ALL will be very surprised. I grow in admiration of this young MAN, nearly 100% of what he says is common sence. He will go down in history,as a true ambassador of RUGBY, does not matter league or union. He is the greatest welshman of the last few decades. I love him & all common sence people. God & Allah bless you ALL. aliboy
