A classical wing three-quarter in all respects, Biggar has the ability to beat defenders on the inside or the out with pace generated from a tall, rangy, running style. He was educated at Sedbergh and a played his club rugby at London Scottish from whence he gained his Scotland call up winning 12 caps and scoring 1 try.

Another player that was unfortunate in that, although his talent was worthy of greater accolades, the genius of the 1971 Lions tourists restricted his selection (plus injury and illness towards the latter stages of his career). Although the only tourist not to gain double figures in appearances the handsome and sociable Biggar managed to bag 9 tries and many an admirer from teammates and the New Zealand public alike.
