'Oh my god' - Dan Biggar press conference gets awkward gatecrasher
By Ian Cameron
A Six Nations Round 2 press conference featuring Wales captain Dan Biggar was unexpectedly interrupted when a journalist's laptop went rogue on a zoom call.
Biggar saw the funny side of it as the voice of Welsh Government economy minister Vaughan Gething interrupted his call with journalists yesterday.
ITV sports broadcaster and reporter Beth Fisher realized it was her errant laptop that was responsible for the bizarre interlude, and shut it off relatively quickly.
Fisher unselfishly shared the gaff on Twitter: "Another episode of "zoom's gone wrong" Season 4. Pretty sure this is the first time Vaughan Gething has featured in a WRU Captain's Run...#ohmygod"
It didn't slow down Biggar, who was in sparky form, suggesting the pressure was in fact on Scotland ahead of this weekend's Six Nations Round 2 showdown in Cardiff.
“We know they are coming in good form and confident, but there is a bit of pressure on them that they have been talked up and they have to try and win a championship, from what I am hearing,” Biggar said.
“Let’s see how they go in the tournament, and we will judge them at the end of it.
“They are coached well and have some X-factor players. It will be interesting to see how they play because we know they will want to come and throw the ball about and try to score tries that way.
“We are obviously looking for a reaction, so we are hoping to try and stifle that momentum and confidence they have built up.
“Their team looks strong on paper, and they have got individuals that can cause any team in international rugby problems.”

Ten years ago we were discussing how
Australia had made the Giteu Law and how we didn’t have to to do anything like that because NZ produced more talent than Australia.
The current model only works if you are constantly producing players good enough to take over when players leave.
New Zealand will struggle to do this as time goes on because rugby is dying here at the grass roots level.
Rugby league, football, basketball are where young kids are choosing to go more and more.
Even combat sports such as jiu jitsu are rapidly gaining in popularity all the time.
Picking players from overseas will give us a sugar hit of success for a wee while…. But the crash
afterward could be Wales-like.
Go to commentsYou see BS when you white Saffers (and you're white drop your ruse) make xenophobic comments, they are just flagging themselves as the type of white South African who would have been a defender of your despicable State back in the day. You are just too stupid too see it. When you say these things in front of non whites from your own country they will think you're just the type of Kant who would have them in chains a few decades ago. And you are that Kant.
