Beautiful writing like this sometimes oversells the moment or the player in sport. Not so for Dan Biggar. The span of his career; golden boys of the noughties Ospreys*, to as Daf says “Warrior leader” - perhaps the most underrated player in European rugby in the past decade.

"In Wales, the number 10 always gets stick." Even the great Barry John and Phil Bennett were not immune to the intense scrutiny that comes with being Wales' fly-half. Dan Biggar has thrived on that pressure and wins his 100th cap tomorrow:
