The Ospreys fly half guided Warren Gatland’s side to a crushing 40-6 victory at the Millennium Stadium yesterday – their biggest ever win over the Pumas.
In an entertaining encounter, Wales showed just how devastating they can be with two tries in either half. Mike Phillips went the length of the field for the first score of the day while tries from George North and Toby Faletau followed some superb link up between backs and forwards.
Both efforts came from first phase ball, North galloping under the posts following an inside pass from Phillips while Faletau crossed after some superb work by Liam Williams. Ken Owens’ late effort, his first try for Wales, put the icing on the cake.
“It was hugely important we got back on track with a win,” said Biggar.
“Last week was encouraging but ultimately, we lost the game. We didn’t really look like scoring a try against South Africa, we got a couple of line breaks but didn’t finish any of them off.
“The boys were excellent today and we left a couple of tries out there. There is still a lot to work on but overall we looked a lot more threatening.”
Yesterday’s victory, Wales’ first in an autumn series since 2009, saw Wales cut Argentina to pieces at times, particularly in the second half.
Biggar added: “It was a good team performance and when you have the likes of George, Leigh (Halfpenny) and people like that, it’s my job to get the ball to them.
“It’s always nice when you get a bit of front foot ball and we managed to score a few tries.”
After yesterday’s win, Wales face a short turnaround ahead of Friday night’s clash with Tonga. A meeting with Australia the following Saturday completes the Dove Men Series and Biggar knows Wales must keep up the level of performance they produced against the Pumas if they are to secure two more wins.
“We have to make sure this momentum stays with us for the Tonga week and we put in a good performance there leading into Australia,” said the Wales pivot.
“I’d love to be a part of it and hopefully with another week of training, I’ll get the chance to impress.”
Biggar played inside a midfield partnership of Scott Williams and debutant Cory Allen yesterday but there will be changes in the centre for the meeting with Tonga. Allen’s international bow ended abruptly due to a dislocated shoulder while Williams suffered an injury to his big toe. Wales are already without Jamie Roberts and Jonathan Davies.
“I thought Scott was excellent, his communication was good, he looked strong and had some nice little touches,” said Biggar.
“It’s nice to play with someone who is full of confidence. His regional form has been good and it was great to give someone like him the ball.
“Injuries happen, you have to deal with that and I’m sure whoever comes in will do a good job as Cory did today. I think he did really well.
“It’s about managing the boys now and some players might have to play in slightly different positions to the ones they’re used to.”
