Get ready for a thrilling rugby debate! Dan Biggar, a true legend of Welsh rugby, has some bold opinions on England's rugby prospects.
In a recent column, Biggar praised England's recent success, acknowledging their 11-game winning streak and impressive autumn performances. But here's where it gets controversial: he warns fans not to get too carried away.
"England supporters are at risk of getting ahead of themselves," Biggar writes. He points out that, despite their progress, there's a massive gap between England and the mighty South Africa.
Biggar highlights England's narrow victory over Argentina, suggesting that a few different calls could have changed the outcome. He then compares this to England's football team, questioning whether fans get too excited too soon.
"England are part of the 'best of the rest' group, chasing South Africa," he continues, naming Ireland, France, and New Zealand as other contenders.
And this is the part most people miss: Biggar believes England's next target should be the Six Nations title, which they last won in 2020. He argues that while not winning the 2026 championship wouldn't be a disaster, it would be a missed opportunity and a disappointment.
With favorable fixtures next year, including a home game against Ireland, England has a real chance to prove themselves. But can they bridge the gap to South Africa?
What do you think? Is Biggar being too harsh, or is he right to temper England fans' expectations? Let us know in the comments!
