Holley tips rising star Biggar to shine

OSPREYS coach Sean Holley has tipped young out-half Dan Biggar for stardom on the international stage.

Biggar stormed into the limelight with the Welsh region this season when Holley handed him a Magners League starting slot ahead of the established James Hook, who moved to centre to accommodate the 20-year-old.

Now, it’s not a question of Biggar winning caps for Wales but how many, according to an enthusiastic Holley: “For a young man, he demands the respect not alone of his colleagues but also of the opposition; we are looking at someone who I believe will be playing for Wales for a very long time. When talent like that comes along you have to cherish and nurture it.”
