'That perhaps would be someone like an Owen Williams. 'If the Six Nations started tomorrow, with Costelow out, I would want to go with someone who has experience and has played of late as well,' he said. However, asked who he would pick at 10 at this moment in time, Williams went with another option completely, selecting the Ospreys' Owen Williams as his starting fly-half.
There is no shortage of contenders however, with Ioan Lloyd impressing for the Scarlets, Callum Sheedy winning plaudits for his performances for Bristol Bears and Jarrod Evans remaining eligible for Wales selection despite moving to Harlequins with less than 25 caps to his name.
While Sam Costelow has been identified as a long-term successor of Biggar, he is currently sidelined with injury, with the spot still very much up for grabs. The outside-half position has been identified by Warren Gatland as one area where Wales need to find greater depth, after Dan Biggar retired from international rugby and Gareth Anscombe moved to Japan following the World Cup. Wales legend Shane Williams has weighed into the Welsh fly-half debate and made a surprise pick for the starting 10 jersey ahead of the Six Nations.
