The best scrum-halves in world rugby are changing the way they attack – and Dan Biggar explains exactly why.
In this episode of Biggar Thinking, former Wales and British & Irish Lions fly-half Dan Biggar breaks down one of the biggest tactical trends in modern rugby: scrum-halves attacking the space around the ruck instead of simply passing away from the breakdown.
