About The Author

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 club. Since then, he has played for English Premiership giants 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 first 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.

Ross Harries is an experienced broadcaster and is regularly seen presenting rugby coverage on the BBC, BT Sport, Premier Sports, Channel 4 and Amazon Prime. He presented the BBC’s Scrum V for a decade.

Ross is also an award-nominated author of Centre Stage: My Life In Rugby (autobiography of Jamie Roberts), Behind the Dragon (a complete oral history of Welsh rugby) and Bomb, the autobiography of Wales centurion Adam Jones.
