Dan Biggar
Dan Biggar was born in Morriston, Swansea, and his career began in the Welsh Premiership for his hometown team. He made his Ospreys debut as an eighteen-year-old and became the youngest player ever to play in 100 games for the Ospreys. Since then he has played for the English Premiership side Northampton and for French heavyweights Toulon.
Dan has been at the heart of Welsh rugby’s most iconic moments of the past decade, including a Grand Slam, two Six Nations Championships, a record victory over England, a World Cup semi-final, and a historic victory on South African soil. He’s toured twice with the British and Irish Lions and started every test in the 2021 series.
In 2015, Biggar won the BBC Cymru Sports Personality of the Year Award.
The Biggar Picture is his first autobiography.
