At the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, Eirlys worked as a Comedy Rugby Reporter - Rhian Madamrygbi - for Welsh Rugby Legend Jonathan Davies' light entertainment chat-show 'Jonathan' on S4C.

As well as gate-crashing press conferences, playing mud rugby and reporting live from the Fan Zones, she interviewed the stars of the Welsh rugby team including Sam Warburton, Jamie Roberts and Shane Williams; the Prime Minister of New Zealand – John Key; and rugby legends Sir Colin Meads, Raphael Ibanez, Kobus Wiese to name but a few.

She also appeared on TVNZ's prime-time show RWC 2011 – Tonight alongside Rod Cheeseman and at the Semi-Final, she starred as a rugby pundit alongside former All Blacks, Glen Osbourne and Buck Shelford live on Maori TV.

Here are some of Rhian's highlights:

Welsh rugby unleashed a female version of Ali G on the World Cup: a fake-tanned, busty Valley Commando by the name of Rhian Madamrygbi Davies – aka actress Eirlys Bellin, whose (heavily) made-up character has high-fived with Sir Colin Meads and joshed with Prime Minister John Key on her travels around New Zealand. It looks like neither Key nor Meads spotted the spoof behind Madamrygbi's fluttering eyelashes and swooning enthusiasm for Jamie Roberts's thighs.
