Light at ten.
Wales are set to be without Ospreys outhalf Dan Biggar for at least the opening two rounds of the Six Nations, and possibly even longer.
The Northampton-bound playmaker limped off in Ospreys’ loss to Clermont the weekend. Wales boss Warren Gatland is already without the services of Bath ten Rhys Priestland, who pulled out of the squad last week.
BBC rugby correspondent Chris Jones says Biggar could miss as much as the first three rounds of the competition. But did add that Biggar has a history of rapid recoveries and could be back for the Ireland game in round three.
He will however, most definitely miss the games against Scotland and England in rounds one and two.
Exclusive: Dan Biggar out of start of Six Nations. Expected to miss as much as the first three rounds. Leaves Wales light at 10.

Biggar has a history of rapid recoveries and wouldn’t put it past him to be fit for round three. But Scotland and England games will come too soon.
