Dan Biggar can never be accused of being a shrinking violet.
His performance for Wales at Loftus Versfeld in the summer series opener was everything that Biggar has always been — emotional and right on the edge — and it resonated with Wales supporters. Biggar and his team were roundly written off ahead of the first South Africa Test, but 14 other Welshmen put pride back in the red jersey by rallying behind their captain.
It was a performance not without its faults. There was a yellow card, which Biggar made no secret of disagreeing with, two missed conversions, one of which would have given Wales a late two-point lead, and the concession of a crucial final penalty. In years gone by, the fall out for the fly-half may well have been ugly, but not this time.
