Ross Harries in conversation with Nigel Walker
Ross Harries is a TV presenter, writer, and author who - like all lifelong fans - is incapable of stepping off the interminable rollercoaster that is Welsh rugby.
He's been the face of the sport in Wales for fifteen years, having presented the BBC's Scrum V for a decade, and been an integral part of the BBC's Six Nations output as well as Prime Video’s Autumn Nations Series coverage.
He is currently the lead anchor of Premier Sport’s coverage of the URC and Champions Cup, and a regular pitch-side presence on TNT Sport.
An accomplished writer, Ross has co-written the autobiographies of Adam Jones (Bomb), Jamie Roberts (Centre Stage) and Dan Biggar (The Biggar Picture) as well as Behind The Dragon, an oral history of Welsh rugby. All four were nominated for the Sunday Times/Cross Rugby Book Of The Year. He has a regular column with RugbyPass.
Born in Llantrisant, Ross grew up in rural Powys. He began his broadcasting career as a reporter and newsreader with BBC Radio Wales, before switching to television, where he worked as West Wales correspondent and presented the nightly news programme, Wales Today.
In his spare time Ross still dreams of being a rock star having spent much of his teens and early twenties playing guitar in various bands.

Nigel Walker, an Olympic track athlete and Wales international rugby union player, has won 17 caps for his country. Since his playing days, he has excelled in a number of key sports-related roles, including Head of Sport for BBC Wales, National Director of the English Institute of Sport and, more recently, Performance Director, then Acting CEO of Welsh Rugby Union. He is currently interim CEO of Basketball England.
In 2019 Nigel was awarded an OBE for his contribution to Olympic and Paralympic success. He is married to Mary and they have three daughters.
