Northampton boss responds to Dan Biggar transfer speculation
Transfer RumoursMonday, 07 June 2021 at 11:15
Northampton Saints boss Chris Boyd has rubbished reports linking Dan Biggar with a move to European champions Toulouse.
that Toulouse are willing to make highly lucrative offerers to both Wales fly-half Biggar, 31, and England lock Courtney Lawes, 32, to move to the Stade Ernest- Wallon.
The report also suggests that both players would have to pull out of the British & Irish Lions tour to South Africa.
"Dan Biggar to Toulouse? Haven't they got a decent 10 (Romain Ntamack) there already?" Boyd said.
"I'm not even going to speculate."
The Wales international was an early departure in Sunday's 29-26 defeat to Exeter Chiefs, as was fellow Lion, Lawes, but Boyd insists their issues are not serious.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
