All hail centurion Dan Biggar as he becomes just the seventh Welshman to win 100 caps for his country.
Wales' journey through the 2022 Six Nations has been uneven but Biggar has given everything and thrived with the added responsibility of captaincy. There were several moments in that tense and torrid defeat to France which encapsulated his character. Not least his attempts to gee up a Welsh crowd that were flatter than a Crepe Suzette while the French fans sang, roared and were quite literally bouncing.
It was a curious ambiance, not helped by piping in Hymns & Arias – a Welsh home international should never require the stadium equivalent of elevator muzak. And it wasn’t if we weren’t being given anything to shout about, particularly from Biggar himself. As Martin Johnson later eulogised from the punditry box, the Welsh No. 10 was the real man of the match.
