Dan Biggar returns for Wales against the French

Fly half Dan Biggar is set to return this week against France as the Six Nations draws towards a close, according to BBC Sport.

He returns to the team in the place of Gareth Anscombe who has been dropped to the bench for the match in Cardiff this weekend.

Warren Gatland has made seven changes for the game against the French, the highlight of which is Alun Wyn Jones returning to captain his nation, while Liam Williams has gone back to the wing after appearing at full-back.

The match is just Biggar’s second of the tournament after Rhys Patchell and Anscombe stepped up in the previous matches.

There are also a couple of changes in the front row as Elliott Dee and Nicky Smith are replaced by Ken Owens and Rob Evans for the encounter in Cardiff.

Wales: Halfpenny; North, S Williams, Parkes, L Williams; Biggar, G Davies; R Evans, Owens, Francis, Hill, A W Jones (capt), Tipuric, Faletau, Navidi.

Replacements: Dee, Smith, Lee, B Davies, Shingler, A Davies, Anscombe, S Evans.
