So a blocked back happens even to the best people, and in the worst moments. Dan Biggar had the bitter experience this Saturday afternoon on the Aimé-Giral lawn. Opposed to Perpignan, the RC Toulon flyhalf was injured in full transformation after barely 10 minutes of play.
Returning from an average World Cup after his pectoral injury against Australia, Biggar (34 years old, 111 caps) started for his first match since September 24. And what a return! From the 9th minute, the Welshman quickly played a penalty in the opposing 22m, finding Charles Ollivon with a beautiful diagonal at the foot for a splendid try. All that remained was for Biggar to make a conversion near the touchline on the right side to start his match perfectly.
But just after launching his run-up, and when arming his right foot, the 34-year-old flyhalf bends in half and places one knee on the ground with his right hand on his lower back, unable to make his attempt. A completely crazy scene. After several dozen seconds spent on the ground, his back blocked, Biggar had to leave his partners. Enzo Hervé, the replacement fly half, ended up taking his place. A hard blow for the RCT which loses its chief scorer, and two points in this story. As Dan Biggar had started his run-up, the transformation cannot be removed.
