It is easily forgotten that Dan Biggar knows how to beat England. The Wales fly-half is one of the reasons
that Eddie Jones is in charge of the national team, given events that unfolded at Twickenham four years ago,
and it was appropriate on Saturday that he was at the centre of what unfolded inside the Principality
Stadium.


Biggar had faced harsh criticism in the week from former Wales wing JJ Williams, who insisted that “you’re
not going to win the World Cup with him” at 10 and called for Warren Gatland to select Jarrod Evans, the
two-cap 23-year-old, instead.
