Wayne Pivac, Wales' New Zealand replacement for Warren Gatland as national coach, has had the stamp of approval from first five-eighths Dan Biggar.
In four Six Nations games before play stopped due to covid-19, Wales had managed only a win over Italy.
But Biggar told British SKY Sport that Pivac's attractive style of play would be beneficial for Wales as they continued their development through the transitional period between the respective coaching styles of Gatland and Pivac.
Biggar said there were already signs in the side's performances that they were not far off finding the right mix.
"It was always going to be a massive challenge [for Pivac], coming in for Warren Gatland, with the success he had over the last eight to 10 years.
"When you change something that has been in place for so long, it sometimes will take a little bit of time. We just fell short against France, we just fell short against England.
"In a new pattern and a slightly new style of play, I think it's certainly going to help us in terms of playing more attractive rugby and scoring more tries.
"I think that probably takes a couple of campaigns to get used to everything and I'm sure, come the Autumn internationals if we can get back playing, I think you'll see us much stronger," he said.
