Description

After fifteen years at the very pinnacle of test rugby, leading the most successful squad in Welsh history, Dan Biggar tells his story.

Dan Biggar has never fitted the mould. Throughout his long and decorated career, he has had to confront the critics and silence the cynics. His playing style has been described as brash, aggressive and forthright, and has earned him a reputation that he has never been able to shake. But, to anyone who knows him off the pitch, he is a grounded ambassadors for the game.

Offering a rare insight into his personal and professional life, Dan talks candidly of his place within rugby, from the Premiership – playing with the Ospreys and the Northampton Saints – through to the Lions, and of the power dynamics within Wales’s most successful squad ever. He also opens the changing-room doors and explores his relationships with past teammates, coaches and managers, from Warren Gatland and Shaun Edwards to Alun Wyn Jones and Wayne Pivac.

The Biggar Picture is the story of a man who has – through joy, despair and graft – become one of the sport’s most compelling figures and Wales’s most capped fly half.
