Dan Biggar clashes with fan inside stadium as team-mate's wife speaks out over abuse

Details have emerged of an altercation between Dan Biggar and a supporter during Northampton Saints' defeat to Gloucester over the weekend have emerged.

Biggar was shown a red card for a high tackle on Lions team-mate Chris Harris during the match at Kingsholm, that Saints went on to lose 31-21, crashing out of the Challenge Cup in the process. In the 54th minute of the match, Biggar got things wrong as he arrived as the second tackler and caught Harris flush on the chin with his shoulder. There were few arguments about the card, and Biggar is now set to learn his fate in a disciplinary hearing.

But then it seems the Wales skipper was subjected to abuse from a member of the crowd as he headed towards the sidelines and took up a position for the rest of the match. Biggar, allegedly, was unable to brush it off and exchanged verbals before stewards intervened.
