After fifteen years at the very pinnacle of test rugby, leading the most successful squad in Welsh history, Dan Biggar tells his story.

Dan Biggar has never fitted the mould. Throughout his long and decorated career, he has had to confront the critics and silence the cynics. His playing style has been described as brash, aggressive and forthright, and has earned him a reputation that he has never been able to shake. But, to anyone who knows him off the pitch, he is a grounded ambassadors for the game.

Offering a rare insight into his personal and professional life, Dan talks candidly of his place within rugby, from the Premiership - playing with the Ospreys and the Northampton Saints - through to the Lions, and of the power dynamics within Wales's most successful squad ever. He also opens the changing-room doors and explores his relationships with past teammates, coaches and managers, from Warren Gatland and Shaun Edwards to Alun Wyn Jones and Wayne Pivac.

The Biggar Picture is the story of a man who has - through joy, despair and graft - become one of the sport's most compelling figures and Wales's most capped fly half.

Dan Biggar was born in Morriston, Swansea, and his career began in the Welsh Premiership for his hometown team. He made his Ospreys debut as an eighteen-year-old and became the youngest player ever to play in 100 games for the club. Since then, he has played for English Premiership giants Northampton and for French heavyweights Toulon. Dan has been at the heart of Welsh rugby's most iconic moments of the past decade, including a Grand Slam, two Six Nations Championships, a record victory over England, a World Cup semi-final and a historic first victory on South African soil. He's toured twice with the British and Irish Lions, and started every test in the 2021 series. In 2015, Biggar won the BBC Cymru Sports Personality of the Year Award. The Biggar Picture is his first autobiography. Ross Harries is an experienced broadcaster and is regularly seen presenting rugby coverage on the BBC, BT Sport, Premier Sports, Channel 4 and Amazon Prime. He presented the BBC's Scrum V for a decade. Ross is also an award-nominated author of Centre Stage: My Life In Rugby (autobiography of Jamie Roberts), Behind the Dragon (a complete oral history of Welsh rugby) and Bomb, the autobiography of Wales centurion Adam Jones.
