    One of the most enjoyable rugby interviews I've ever watched. The cinematography was stunning together with crystal-clear audio which made it so enjoyable. Jim spoke respectfully to the legendary player that is Dan Biggar. A respect he deserves for his extraordinary contribution to the game of rugby against all the odds. For me, the 2015 RWC pool game against England was his most stunning performance as agreed by the majority of rugby fans from all nations. His family should be extremely proud of him. The possibilities are endless for his post-rugby career, whenever that may be.

I went to visit them at their Sunbury (London Irish) training facility earlier in the week. It felt the same there. Gatland, Edwards and Howley were unrelenting as you’d expect.

    I like his mindset a lot. I'm neither Welsh nor a Biggar fanboy, but I couldn't find anything I disagreed with anything he said here, and those are tough losses he's talking about midway through the video. He's got the right mindset: competitive but not delusional.

    Dan Bigger mentioned the set up in Wales ,clubs,& the blazers but I think the pool strength is a bit on the thin side . I think that may do them in the final shake up . Having said that baring injury you could not Write them off .
    Another great interview with big Jim . I wish Wales all the best in the world cup .

      Thanks for that comment butt. The problem in welsh rugby isn't the lack of pool depth that's looking fine and gats can trial out loads of players come the six nations. The real issue is that there isn't enough money being pumped into the wru

      Huw is half right, they're walking on Oxwich beach starting off towards Tor bay and Three cliffs bay, if you want to get to Rhossili on foot it's 7 miles unless you have a boat. That said the Gower is stunning and well worth a visit.

    Let’s review. Biggar used to have a Tourette’s wind up before kicking a penalty or conversion. What was that all about? He doesn’t do it anymore, so it was obviously fake. He’s well known as the biggest whiner on the pitch, constantly flapping his arms and complaining at the referee. Every official hates his guts. The last thing you want is the officials irritated with your team, because the close calls will not go your way. That’s human nature. Finally, how many times has he missed a tackle or been out of position on defence? He might be an offensive threat, but defence is important, too. I think Biggar is overrated, much like Farrell.

    If I were a player at that level, just past my prime, I’d be off to France in a flash. The life is top, if you’re good and make a difference, you’re loved. Zack and Sam have both done the right thing, and for different reasons at the other end of his career, Dan has. Cipriani should be doing exactly the same thing and go to,Perpignan, so he’ll be near Shaun for guidance and advice.
