Dan Biggar: I wanted to be Jonny Wilkinson

Wales outside-half Dan Biggar says that he idolised England World Cup winner Jonny Wilkinson as a teenager.

Speaking to former Welsh captain Ryan Jones, he reveals he even had a poster of Wilkinson on his wall.

"In my defence, I would not be the only 14-year-old boy who idolised Jonny Wilkinson at that time," he said.

Biggar was a spectator at England's 2003 Rugby World Cup final victory over Australia, and tells Jones that he was "starstruck" when England captain Martin Johnson walked past him.
