DAN Biggar has expressed his anger and hurt at accusations he led a mutiny against Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones over the controversial penalty decision at Murrayfield.

With Scotland leading 16-13 in Edinburgh, the visitors went for the corner rather than the posts when inside the 22 with half an hour left.

They infringed from the resulting lineout and the Scots went on to romp to a 29-13 success, ending Wales' Six Nations title hopes.

Lock Jones had initially pointed for the posts but kicker Leigh Halfpenny was reluctant to go for goal with Biggar instead booting the ball to touch.

The flashpoint has been dissected with suggestions in some quarters, and started on the BBC's Scrum V programme, that the Ospreys fly-half had overruled his skipper, an allegation that has wounded Biggar.

He said: "The bottom line is Leigh has held his hands up and said he didn't fancy the kick to which Alun Wyn has said "we'll go to the corner then".

"It was a very amicable chat and for me it was never about overruling the captain. Where that came from and who put that out there, I have no idea.

"I've asked Al, if it was on the 22 and bang in front I wouldn't have asked. As it was on the touchline I've asked the question about whether to go for the corner.

"I've turned – which I don't think some people have seen on the video footage – to give the ball to 'Pens' but he hasn't taken it and sometimes that's the way it goes.

"It was a tough day and a tough kick so then I've put the ball in the corner. Does that sound like I've overruled the captain?

"It's been a pretty hurtful couple of days. It's not nice being questioned about whether you've overruled the captain, let alone it being someone like Alun Wyn who I've huge respect for.

"I think everyone sees the side of me that is full of confidence but ultimately things lie that are quite hurtful, not just to me but to my family. For them to have read some of the stuff that was said is not great."

Biggar, feisty on the pitch but an ambassador for the game off it, wanted to address the issue through the media in a bid to kill off the idea of him being a dissident.

"I just want to win every single minute of every game. That is my character. People see that side but maybe they don't see the other side," said the fly-half.

"It has been a pretty tough couple of days because of that. The main thing is that we put this to bed.

"It's pretty hurtful to have people phoning you up and asking if you've disrespected your captain."

And Biggar knows that the bigger picture is Wales' poor showing in Scotland with tough tests against Ireland and France to come.

"We need to get better for the rest of the tournament. It is important we all stick together in these four walls," he said from Wales' training base.

"We didn't play well in the second half and when you don't play well you deserve to take a little bit of stick.

"There is no issue with that when it is fair and due. As long as all the facts are correct there is no issue."
