Dan Biggar hails spirit in camp as Lions tour ready for take-off

Whoever organised the accommodation arrangements for the British & Irish Lions last week at Carton House must have had a chuckle when they made Johnny Sexton and Dan Biggar room-mates.

Even Wales out-half Biggar saw the funny side as the number 10s unpacked having both been losing PRO12 semi-finalists that weekend.

Sexton’s Leinster and Biggar’s Ospreys were in camp earlier than they had hoped for alongside fellow fly-half Owen Farrell, who had lost with Saracens in their Aviva Premiership semi-final at Exeter.
