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.

When Sth Africa had Joost and Honiball at 9 and 10 they were almost impenetrable in and around the ruck. Even Jonah couldn't make headway in those channels so they were very hard to get in behind. They had a fantastic side who played a fast, rugged style which won them the Tri Nations during that period. That side would beat their current mob of which I have no doubt.
Go to commentsAwesome win by the NZ U20s. They were excellent in the 2nd half with some very patient and accurate phase play, a dominant scrum and decent lineout. Simpson controlled things very well at 10 and it was amazing to see the team maintain their composure and score points when he was in the sin bin for a very harsh yellow card.
