Welsh flyhalf Dan Biggar has announced that he will retire from international rugby after the upcoming World Cup in France, drawing the curtain on a 15-year career.The 33-year-old, who plays for French Top 14 side Toulon, made his debut for his country at the age of 19 against Canada in November 2008.
He has since been capped more than 100 times."I've decided to call time on my Wales career after the World Cup. It's 15 years since I turned up to my first camp and it feels like the right time to walk away," Biggar wrote in his column for The Mail on Sunday."I have a young family in France now, and I don't think it's fair for me to keep getting on a flight every autumn, summer and Six Nations.""Playing 10 for Wales takes its toll ...
There have been plenty of moments when I've copped it and I'm proud of how long I've lasted."Biggar has won three Six Nations titles and a Grand Slam with Wales.
He also captained them during their Six Nations campaign last year."To be brutally honest, my body has started to feel more like a 33-year-old's in the last 12 months.
