"F***ing killing ourselves" - Dan Biggar defends his x-rated rank at teammate

The fly-half, who some also believe was fortunate to remain on the field after several high tackles, consistently engaged in contentious exchanges with the referee. 

One fan reacting wrote: “This is great, watching a spoilt little welsh pr£&k called Biggar have a go at his countrymen. And twice at North who is twice the player he’s ever been. Well done Wales!!”

A second said: “There’s a fine line between being passionate and being unprofessional, and Dan Biggar was the wrong side of it there …”

Another said: “Bit embarrassing when you forget Jac Morgan is captain, and Dan Biggar is just one very experienced player shouting and screaming at other experienced teammates such as George North.” 

“Biggar wears heart on sleeve but shouldnt be im own players faces,” commented a fourth.

A fifth tweeted: “Dan Biggar will not be missed when he retires from the game of rugby. Wouldn’t look out of place gobbing off at the doormen outside a Cardiff nightclub. No class. No respect.”

"I woke up to plenty of messages about the mouthful I gave to my good mates George North and Nick Tompkins at the end of the first half," wrote Biggar.

"It was a build-up of frustration because we had gifted Fiji some pretty easy territory. Our plan was that when the ball gets turned over in transition then we need to shift it. On a couple of occasions we did not do that and we got turned over so the boys were obviously trying to correct that, but it was the wrong time and the wrong place.

"You need some context and when you are on your own line in the last play of the half against Fiji, you need to get the ball off the pitch. I was furious we did not have the calmness to just hoof it into the stands because we were under the pump.

"I know some people have had a pop at me about the way I spoke but I could not care less. I really do not care what people think of me. If it happened tomorrow I would do it again. That is who I am. We had a bit of a laugh about it after the game. As a group, we are good at handling adversity and confrontation. 

"We have talked about wanting to be able to hold each other to account. It is not personal, I love the guys to bits. We make our points, take them on board and then it is all fine. There will be a few former players trying to keep themselves relevant and that is fine.

"It is a non-story. There were a few expletives, that is for sure. I said something along the lines of: ‘Use our heads, get the ball off the f****** pitch… we’re f****** killing ourselves!’ It is no different to how I have been for 15 years".

Could it be anybody else to start? Farrell fits the label “our guy” better than most, meaning you love to hate him unless he’s in your squad. Then you’d go to the end’s of the earth to defend him.

The England captain, also known as 'Shoulder boy' for his high tackling, does himself no favours with his poor tackling technique.

Although he's currently serving a ban, the fact he often seems to get away with it doesn't help either.

The Saracens star went to school with England teammate George Ford

His education began in rugby league – he joined Wigan St Patricks at the age of eight

He became the youngest ever player to appear in English professional rugby, making his debut aged 17 and 11 days. This record was later beaten by schoolmate Ford

It’s well known that Owen is the son of Ireland head coach Andy Farrell. However, it’s less commonly know that his uncle Sean O’Loughlin is also a rugby league legend, winning 34 caps for Great Britain between 1993 and 2009

He was not at first registered as a Farrell, but took mum Colleen’s family name of O’Loughlin. The couple married in 1995, changing Owen’s surname to Farrell the following year.

Biggar is the epitome of players you hate until they are on your team.The way the fly-half continues to moan to referees vociferously has seemingly only got worse throughout his career. It got so bad that popular online personality and diehard Scotland fan Glove39 made a video called ‘birdman’ mocking the way in which he always raises his arms in frustration to officials.

White has become arguably the most unpopular player in world rugby over the past 12 months..

Last year, White fell about like a lion had attempted to rip off his face after Faf de Klerk accidentally made contact with it while attempting to dislodge the ball out of his hands as he attempted a pass.

After consulting with the television match official, referee Paul Williams adjudicated that this warranted a yellow card for de Klerk.

This decision sent the world of rugby into meltdown, with criticism coming from all quarters aimed at White for bringing the game into disrepute.

The world Cup-winning lock is undoubtedly world-class, but he is also one of the dirtiest players in the sport. If your team has played against him, you will not be a fan. A proper sh**house, but huge biceps.

The expert in unsportsmanlike behavior. Sexton is skilled in exaggerating contact or distracting officials, knowing precisely when to employ his repertoire of underhanded tactics.

His most recent example of on-field nouse came against Wales just last weekend. The yellow card handed to Liam Williams in the 65th minute for a high hit on Sexton took a while to come as it was reviewed from multiple angles by the officials.

Wales fans piled in on Sexton after the Williams sin-binning, with one writing: 'Sexton play acted a head injury. Blatant cheating.'

Another Wales fan vented: 'That Liam Williams yellow card shows why rugby will be dead in a few years – nothing wrong with Liams body shape and Sexton play acting sums up how rugby has drastically changed for the worse. It’s a mockery to the real injuries.'

Another commented on Sexton being seen winking after the card, and said that his behaviour would "destroy the spectacle that is International rugby"
