From local club rugby in Gorseinon to the pinnacle of the sport, former Welsh rugby union player Dan Biggar uses his own journey to underline a simple truth: the sport’s future depends on its roots
The ‘Making a Difference’ campaign by the Telegraph and price-comparison website Go.Compare highlights ordinary volunteers and coaches across the UK, whose dedication keeps the sport alive at a local level. Readers are encouraged to nominate their local heroes to be in with a chance of bagging £5,000 for their local club.
The content also features a contribution by Biggar, who argues that community clubs are where characters are forged and passion for the game is created.
The former player stresses the need for greater support and protection for local level rugby if the game is to thrive beyond the elite.
