Two of Dan Biggar’s former Wales team-mates have called out the 33-year-old for not being apologetic after screaming in the face of George North during their World Cup clash against Fiji last weekend. Wales were embroiled in an exhausting first half against Fiji in their opening Rugby World Cup match.<\/p>\n
The two sides traded leads before North went through the posts on 30 minutes to give Wales a slender advantage heading to the break. When the half-time hooter went, Biggar began screaming at the Wales players to kick the ball out of play.<\/p>\n
North caught the brunt of Biggar’s ire as Fiji came close to turning the ball over after tackling the 31-year-old. \u201cGet the ball off the park. Get the f***ing ball off the park,” Biggar could be heard screaming.<\/p>\n
The half ended seconds after Biggar berated his team-mate and Wales were able to hold on for a hard-fought win. But neither Josh Navidi or James Hook, both of whom played with Biggar for Wales, were impressed by their former team-mate’s outburst.<\/p>\n

\u201cI personally don\u2019t like it,\u201d Navidi said on BBC Scrum V\u2019s podcast. \u201cYou know you\u2019ve made a mistake or you\u2019ve knocked a ball on; you don\u2019t need someone on your back screaming at you for no reason.<\/p>\n
\u201cI get the clock\u2019s gone red and just put it out, but someone\u2019s obviously passed the ball to him as well, so it\u2019s just one of those situations that I\u2019m not a massive fan of.\u201d Hook added: \u201cGeorge North did suck it up, but I think deep down I don\u2019t think he would have liked that.<\/p>\n

We love that about him, but I think maybe he just needs to settle down.\u201d But the veteran fly-half defended his actions and stated he had no plans to apologise.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll make zero apologies for that. I think I must have told everyone the same thing at some point including myself to be honest!\u201d he said. \u201cFor me we\u2019ve grown a little bit in that department as a team. We\u2019ve grown to not so much enjoy confrontation but embrace it for what it is.<\/p>\n “We have to set standards and be accountable and I hope that brings good parts out of people as well as myself. That\u2019s certainly not the first and it probably won\u2019t be my last before my time is up.\u201d<\/p>\n
