Wales fly-half Dan Biggar's sudden announcement on his career
By PA
Dan Biggar has decided to end his Wales career after the World Cup.
Biggar has played 109 Tests for Wales since making his debut as a 19-year-old in 2008 and has twice toured with the British and Irish Lions, in 2017 and 2021.
“I’ve decided to call time on my Wales career after the World Cup,” outside-half Biggar wrote in his Mail on Sunday column.
“It’s 15 years since I turned up to my first camp and it feels like the right time to walk away.
“Playing 10 for Wales takes its toll. Everyone’s got an opinion and there’s always someone better than you.
“There have been plenty of moments when I’ve copped it and I’m proud of how long I’ve lasted.”
Biggar played for the Ospreys and Northampton before moving to Toulon in 2022.
The 33-year-old is currently preparing for a third World Cup. Wales begin their campaign against Fiji in Bordeaux on September 10.

Disagree.
The challenge for the All Blacks now that they have 7 of 8 starting forwards locked in and all but one bench forward (only one loose forward and bench loosie to settle on) is to sort out the starting backline as only 9 Roigard, 12 J. Barrett, 11 Clarke and 15 Jordan had good to outstanding seasons in 2024. All the other backs were inconsistent or poor and question marks going into 2025.
Go to commentshe should not be playing 12. He should be playing 10 and team managers should stop playing players out of position to accommodate libbok.
