Stuart Hogg apologises for red card hit
Hogg’s shoulder smashed into Biggar’s face after he made a clearing kick and, having initially been shown a yellow card, the Scot was given a red after replays of the 22nd-minute offence were shown on the Millennium Stadium’s big screen.
Scotland were trailing 10-3 at the time but went on to suffer a record 51-3 thrashing, Wales’ biggest-ever win in the championship and Scotland’s equal worst loss. “I would like to apologise to my team-mates, the Scotland management and all Scotland supporters for what happened today. I have let people down,” Hogg said in a statement issued by the Scottish Rugby Union.
