Dan Biggar calls for Wales' 60-cap rule to be scrapped and argues players should be picked whichever club they are at

Dan Biggar has given a glowing endorsement of playing rugby outside of Wales and believes the Welsh Rugby Union's 60-cap rule should be scrapped.

The controversial ruling means that stars not playing for the four Welsh regions can only be selected for Wales' men's team if they have more than 60 international caps.

If a player is uncapped and playing in England, they can be chosen - but inevitably there will come a point when they have a decision to make about whether to join a Welsh region to continue their Test career, or stick with a club who have been pivotal in their development. Louis Rees-Zammit (Gloucester), Christ Tshiunza (Exeter) and Tommy Reffell (Leicester) are recent examples who are yet to make such a decision.
