Dan Biggar: Retirement Special


Listen Later

This week on A Load of BS on Sport is extra special - we're celebrating our co-host Dan Biggar's incredible 19-year professional rugby career as he officially hangs up his boots.

In this deeply personal episode, Daniel Ross sits down with Dan for an intimate conversation about retirement, legacy, and what comes next. This isn't just another rugby retrospective - it's a candid, warm chat between friends as Dan reflects on transitioning from professional sport to the "muggle world" beyond.

The episode features wonderful surprise messages and tributes from family, friends, teammates, and rugby legends who share memories of playing alongside one of Wales' most determined competitors. These heartfelt contributions reveal a player respected not just for talent, but for character and work ethic.

Dan opens up about the realities of retirement (spoiler: it's busier than expected!), missing daily banter with teammates, and planning his next chapter with the Sports Business Syndicate. From discussing rugby's future and balancing tradition with modernisation, to reflecting on rivalries that shaped his career, Dan's honesty and humour shine through.


Episode Highlights:


  • Honest reflections on retiring from elite sport
  • Surprise tributes from rugby legends and teammates
  • The future of rugby union and attracting younger audiences
  • Missing the irreplaceable changing room camaraderie
  • Life in France and expanding French beyond line-out calls
  • Building team culture and defining success beyond wins
  • Family support throughout his career journey
  • Looking ahead to business opportunities and new adventures


Memorable Quote: "Retirement is like leaving Hogwarts - you've been living the dream and now you're back in the muggle world."

A heartfelt farewell to one of rugby's most respected competitors and warm welcome to his next chapter.
