The wolves will never be far from Dan Biggar's door but he proved against Scotland he is exactly the No.10 Wales need

There's something about Dan Biggar that some sections of the Welsh rugby public might find a little uncomfortable.

He might not be the fly-half they always want, but against Scotland at the Principality Stadium, he was exactly the fly-half they needed.

Biggar produced whatever the flow of the game demanded. His were two contrasting halves of rugby.

In the first, he took the ball to the line with an air of determination. The intent in his game was evident and he brought others into play.

The timing of his passing put team-mates in holes and, while they didn't always result in clean line breaks, they put Wales over the gain line and on the front foot, something that was severely lacking in Ireland last week.

Two minutes in, Biggar resisted the temptation to kick away turnover ball, instead choosing to launch Owen Watkin from his own 22. It eventually resulted in three points for Wales.

Five minutes in, he charged onto the ball from a scrum and carried a good 20 metres into the Scotland half, putting Gregor Townsend's side in full retreat.

It led to another three points for Wales.

Midway through the half he challenged the Scottish line again, delaying the pass just long enough to put Watkin through another half gap. Another 15 metres made.

Half hour in, he chose the ideal option from a starting play, putting Liam Williams over the gain line and then realigning to carry it himself. Another 10 metres.

And yet social media was awash with critics at the break. 'Biggar is playing too deep', 'Biggar's kicking is aimless'.

It seems to have become the case for some that if Wales aren't running in tries from 70 metres, then it must be Biggar's fault. It's almost fashionable.

In truth, it has come with the territory of the red No.10
