Truth behind Wales Walkout | Rugby Pod with Dan Biggar

[@MuddyBob13]

Really like Biggar as an analyst/pundit...really has a very honest and open approach to answering the questions.

[@caoimhinohiggins6797]

rocking a nice watch too!

[@Alex-mj5dv]

Yeah he’s a top bloke. And still playing which is great for insight.

[@Levi3D]

Totally asgree. As a Wales supporter, he was a great, focused, lynchpin, solid player. As a Dragons supporter, he was wobbly and frustrateable (word?). As a rugby player talking about the game, pundit, tactics, coaches, psychology and politics of the game, he's top quality.

[@maaifoediedelarey4335]

As a South African, I really enjoy listening to you guys, gives me some insight into the mindset of Northern Hemisphere greats of the game.

[@GiveMeBourbon]

You guys are well entrenched in the URC, you're part of the Northern Hemisphere now 😜

[@maaifoediedelarey4335]

@@GiveMeBourbon Indeed we are ! And it has added extra dimensions to our game, for sure !

[@john9508]

I think Biggs is a great guy he is the type of guy you hate him on the pitch when he is playing for the opposition, I think most folk have someone they don't like in the opposition, but off the pitch he is a lovely guy

[@nat99997]

I feel like owen farrell will nost likely be unlikeable off the field as well.

[@adampeckham8541]

​@@nat99997 No apparently he's a nice bloke off the field. Plenty of opposition players have said this

[@pierre-emilebertona3331]

Agree ! But I like him on the pitch too ! Off the field, a great guy indeed. Had a coffee with him a few days ago in Toulon.

[@randomlyfactual1943]

He's totally right. Sometimes you need to see the Biggar picture

[@vincenthawkes]

All i hear is regarding Dan. Off the pitch are all positive. Especially his treatment of supporters. Plus he was a fantastic outside half, very underated

[@douglasdejager8450]

Great show. Love it. From SA.

[@Mojo16011973]

Dan rules. Smart lad.

[@CheifyRC]

Loving the banter lads. 🤩🤛

[@stevebarnes8368]

Dan Biggar really comes across as a good guy. Wasn’t his biggest fan on the field - as an Irish man from Leinster - except in Lions Red. However he seems like a really sound fella and am enjoying his level punditry. Must pick up his book

[@ciaranbrk]

Well he was a fly half his job is to be narky and demanding.

[@stevebarnes8368]

@@ciaranbrk I agree. There are a few folks going around giving out about Sexton still that need to consider it

[@ciaranbrk]

@@stevebarnes8368 ah absolutely your fly half and scrum half's are the general they command sometimes on the pitch you have to be a bit noisier.

[@lenbignell]

Biggar is a classy guy with decent values on the pitch. Id rather no comment on O Farrell as he smacks of entitlement. Keep going Dan. Cheers from SA

[@RhysWilliams-u3o]

Tbf I feel farrel is highly regarded in a team much like Biggar.

[@kev63inuk]

Was making muffins while listening to this and it was riveting stuff. Never knew Dan biggar had that type of relationship with Gatland. Was really an interesting podcast . Best I’ve heard in a while. By the way I know Eating muffins is not really Rugby.

[@robertsanders3213]

Everyone should be eating muffins!😅

[@stephendavies-hale6348]

Bigs for all you did in the red jersey… Diolch 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💪

[@extremesportsify]

Damn Gats not as sound as I thought

[@owenL]

It would be interesting to hear Biggar speak about James Hook. How about pitching him the question Jim: “Dan is it fair to say that you ended the club and international career of Wales’ most talented and elusive runner?” 🤣

[@vincenthawkes]

Dan was not in charge of team selection sorry

[@peterww3106]

For the ai that does the subtitles, it’s Damp Squib!!!! Not squid

[@leeofdoom4452]

Regarding Gats comments... He was bang on, older heads need to keep calm, Biggs was a great player, but read any comment section, his petty whinging followed into his last days, and thats what a lot of people remember! Im a huge Biggs fan btw

[@bertiebanner2100]

This pod is back to what it should be and always was: raw, honest, engaging, genuine opinions and insight. Keep it up lads, no more of that woke self correcting PC bullshit you served up in the last 24 months 👏👏👏

[@rorymcadam5644]

Can anyone explain what the 25/60 cap rule is?

[@matthewbazeley2984]

How many times you have to play for Wales before you can play your club rugby in another country and still be picked for the National team.

[@rorymcadam5644]

@@matthewbazeley2984 cheers, didn’t even realise that was a thing. Do you know if other nations have that too or is it specific to WRU?

[@Hopalong-re9lz]

Other nations often have variations on it. Apart from the French who have so much money it doesn't matter

[@loganwilliams7635]

@@rorymcadam5644 Ireland is way more strict, if you dont play for an Irish team you cant play, even Sexton had to come back from France.

[@leeofdoom4452]

Interesting, regarding the walkbout noone considered the fan base, or the welsh public. Both the players and WRU played a risky game of chicken, and the public lose every single time. I dont blame either in that scenario, despite beleiving the WRu really want to destroy welsh rugby!!!! Re Gats, hes a professional, he does a job and he is trying to create a culture, praising, celebrating, whooping and hollering after a group game win in a RWC immediately tells your players that was their final, he wanted a quick fist pump and to move on to the knock outs, like NZ always do.

[@simonmorgan225]

What a suprise our current team has no backbone, shock horror.

[@Ben-m7s5r]

Damp Squid?

[@dizai]

Damp squib. Squib being a kind of firework

[@BrianStorey-r1k]

Good player but a bit annoying gobbling off to the Refs to get penalties otherwise like him

[@loganwilliams7635]

Farrell does it, sexton does it and Biggar does it. Russel does it as well tbf.

[@MarkTrudgeonRulez]

So, they have to be mindful of the feelings of those younger players?!? Hence Wales are shit now!

[@Benboy1980]

Dan is clearly a nice fella with his heart in the right place, but I suspect he didn’t do himself any favours with the complaining he used to do. It overshadowed his play quite often. Obviously very passionate and wants to win. Nothing wrong with that, but maybe a bit less whinging

[@ciaranbrk]

He was a fly half he has to be narky and demanding to move his team forward you can be a completely different person in the pitch.

[@loganwilliams7635]

All of them complained the exact same amount, Farrell and Sexton are both terrible for it as well.

[@Benboy1980]

@@loganwilliams7635 not for me, Biggar was always complaining. Even Jonathan Davies said it during the 6 nations, that he needed to stop whinging so much. Farrell and Sexton defo have a pop, but not to the same degree

[@davidhughes8795]

@@Benboy1980 He did this in several big games where he clearly lost it and got frustrated, yes. This gets a tad overblown though, he was generally no more chirpy than Sexton or Farrell.

[@debbieg2864]

@@loganwilliams7635 Farrell and Sexton were captains so its their job to speak to the ref. Biggar wasn't. He pretty much became a meme after the 2020 6N games vs France where he spent 90% of it flapping his arms about and complaining to the ref
