Scott Johnson - Wales 'do not appreciate Biggar'
Scott Johnson has hit back at Dan Biggar's critics insisting the Ospreys fly-half is not appreciated in Wales and was "born in the wrong country."
The Ospreys director of coaching thinks Biggar suffers due to Wales' obsession with flamboyant footballing fly-halves.
Biggar was overlooked for Wales' World Cup squad and has not featured for Warren Gatland's team since the 16-16 draw against Fiji in November 2010.
"Daniel epitomises the qualities of a top national 10," said Johnson.
"He's a diligent kid just born in the wrong country sadly."
Biggar has won eight caps for his country since making his debut as a 19-year-old replacement against Canada in November 2008.

Agree with him. Biggar is an excellent player with mental toughness.

To be fair Biggar deserved some flak for making out like an arrogant punk in his first/second season and then not backing it up for Wales. Some of his missed kicks were on par with Hook's this World Cup, with a couple even worse.
But he's shown he has potential and time on his side and when he's been on form he's been a great asset for the O's. Hopefully Biggar can develop a greater level of consistency this season.
