The 20-year-old will win his fourth cap when Wales continue their autumn internationals by tackling Samoa in Cardiff on Friday night. He replaces the vastly-experienced Stephen Jones - almost 12 years Biggar's senior - for Wales' first fixture against Samoa since 2000.

And Wales head coach Warren Gatland believes Biggar, who made his Test debut during last year's autumn series, has a glittering future, and said: "We need to look at options at 10. Dan has been playing well for the Ospreys, and we want to continue with his development. We see him as a player who is the next generation of number 10s in Wales."

He added: "He has shown all the right signs of a young 10 who is mature beyond his years.

"We think he is going to have a significant impact on Welsh rugby."

Gatland has made five changes from the side beaten 19-12 by New Zealand last weekend.

Cardiff Blues' 21-year-old flanker Sam Warburton is among the players called up, winning just his second cap.

Warburton takes over from Blues colleague Martyn Williams, while one other switch up front sees a start for Ospreys hooker Huw Bennett.

Behind the scrum, Biggar, Blues wing Tom James and Sale Sharks scrum-half Dwayne Peel all start as respective replacements for Jones, Shane Williams and Gareth Cooper.
