Description

After fifteen years at the very pinnacle of test rugby, leading the most successful squad in Welsh history, Dan Biggar tells his story. ‘When I reflect on it all, I can say without any doubt that I gave it everything.’ Dan Biggar has never fitted the mould. Throughout his long and decorated career, he has had to confront the critics, to silence the cynics. His playing style has been described as brash, aggressive and forthright, and it has earned him a reputation he has never been able to shake. But to anyone who knows him off the pitch, he is one of the most grounded ambassadors the game could ask for. Honest and self-critical, Dan offers a rare insight into his personal and professional life. He talks candidly of his place within rugby, from the Premiership through to the Lions, and of the power dynamics within Wales’ most successful squad ever. He also opens the changing room doors and explores his relationships with past team mates, 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 taken in the joy, the graft and despair to become one of the sport’s most compelling figures – and Wales’ most capped fly-half.

Author Biography:

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 two Grand Slams, a record victory over England, a World Cup semi-final, and a first ever 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.
