The Biggar Picture - My Life in Rugby

'' 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 a 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, The Biggar Pictures sheds some light on this contradiction, and for the first time, 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 found within Wales'' most historically successful squad. He also opens the changing room doors on some of rugby''s most compelling episodes 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 looks back over Dan''s fifteen years at the very pinnacle of test rugby and in turn creates a portrait 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
