George North's try helps Wales to a 13-6 win over England in their World Cup warm-up in Cardiff and will see them top the world rankings for the first time.
That means on Monday morning, when the next world rankings are released officially, Warren Gatland's men will sit at the summit for the first time since World Rugby introduced the ranking system in 2003.
Whereas they were 14 points down in as many minutes at Twickenham, Wales wrestled their way into a position of strength at the Principality Stadium. His long, searching cross-field kick found Josh Adams and, after the wing made ground, from the next phase Biggar repeated the trick to set up North in the opposite corner, a fine try which the fly-half converted for a 10-0 lead.
It was an intervention which illustrated Biggar's scant regard for his own safety and sealed his deserved man of the match award.
But England struggled to cut through the opposition defence like they did at Twickenham and, while the scrum remained a weapon, their driving maul was less of a threat.
