It’s a big catch for RC Toulon. The famous captain of Wales Dan Biggar has signed up with the Var club until the end of the season. The opening half, who has more than 100 selections, triple winner of the Six Nations Tournament, reinforces the Toulon squad as opening half. After losing Louis Carbonel and Anthony Belleau in the offseason, who left for Montpellier and Clermont, Toulon was looking for a second professional opener to support the New Zealander Ihaia West, who arrived this summer from La Rochelle.
“We are very proud of the arrival of Dan Biggar in Toulon. He is an exceptional player. Dan will bring his experience as captain of Leek XV to the whole team. A fine strategist, Dan Biggar is an outstanding scorer who has a very high quality kicking game, ”said club president Bernard Lemaitre in a press release. The RCT nevertheless specifies that Dan Biggar would be “available and back in Toulon” at the end of the international break and could “apply as soon as his current knee injury is healed”.
The captain of the Welsh selection therefore joins his 3rd career club. Biggar had first started his professional adventure at the Ospreys where he spent no less than 11 seasons, with 2,199 points on the clock. In 2018, he joined the Northampton Saints, which he is now leaving during the season. If he has never won the European Cup in his career, the XV du Leek international has won three VI nations tournaments, including a Grand Slam in 2019. The Welsh number 10 was also there during the World Cup quarter-final won against France (20-19). In short, a top recruit for the RCT.
