Dan Biggar not listening to the critics ahead of 'cup final'

Biggar recognises this tour has fallen well short of showcasing the talent the cream of British and Irish rugby has to offer

If the British & Irish Lions get dragged into another arm-wrestle with South Africa and come out the other side with a series victory, Dan Biggar will not care what the critics say.

Yet after a deeply disappointing second-half performance seven days ago as the world champions levelled the three-game series with a comfortable 27-9 win, the Lions fly-half is hoping his side can fire a few more shots at the Springboks than they mustered in last Saturday’s second-Test defeat.
