Jenkins predicts bright future for Wales star Biggar

Ex-Welsh international and Wales kicking coach Neil Jenkins believes the best is yet to come from Wales' World Cup playmaker and prolific marksman Dan Biggar.

The Ospreys fly-half has been in inspired form for Wales during their Pool A victories over England and Fiji, landing 13 out of 13 kicks at goal, and is a key reason the team's sights are now firmly set on a quarter-final place.

Wales’ place in the last eight will be confirmed should Australia see off England at Twickenham on Saturday, but conversely, an England success would leave Biggar and company needing to avoid defeat when they tackle the Wallabies in eight days' time, or they could still be eliminated.

"From a young age you could tell Dan was going to play for Wales," said Jenkins, skills coach and his country's record points-scorer.

"He would probably have told you straight away he was going to be a Wales international and a British and Irish Lion. I am sure that is on the horizon.

"He has matured over the last few years and is playing so well. When you see him playing in the PRO12, he actually makes it look easy.

"I think the next level was for him to dictate like that in a Welsh shirt, and I think he has done that.

"I wouldn't say he is too far away from being one of the best 10s in the world. I think he has the desire to be the best in the world, and he is certainly going the right way about it."

Wales look to have emerged injury-free from what Jenkins described as a "brutal Test match" against Fiji.

A bruising 23-13 win over a fiercely stubborn Fijian side took them top of the group, and after seeing their World Cup campaign scarred by injury setbacks - head coach Warren Gatland has lost the services of original squad members Leigh Halfpenny, Scott Williams, Rhys Webb, Cory Allen and Hallam Amos - Jenkins reported no fresh concerns.

"We have got a nice turnaround, and the boys can look forward to this weekend and then look forward to a big Test match against Australia next weekend.

"It was a brutal Test match last night. We have got the job done and we have won and we can look forward to the game next week."

"What will be will be. Whatever happens tomorrow night, we have got to turn up a week on Saturday and win"
