Overview
- Rees‑Zammit was named man of the match after a high‑impact display that included a try, five line breaks and 121 metres in Wales’ 28-21 win over Japan on Saturday.
- He says moving back to his preferred wing role has restored his confidence and left him “playing with a smile on my face.”
- At club level for Bristol he has scored five tries in five games and ranks highly in Premiership attacking stats for defenders beaten, metres gained and clean breaks.
- The 2021 Lions tourist returned to Test rugby a year ago after two seasons attempting an NFL switch and spent last season often at full-back, a position he and coaches say slowed his return to form.
- Wales now face New Zealand in Cardiff next, a tough matchup given a 34-game All Blacks winning run against Wales and the chance for Rees‑Zammit to show his resurgence holds up at the highest level.
