🏉 What’s really going on with Louis Rees-Zammit in the Six Nations? Let’s dive in!
Playing at full-back this year, Rees-Zammit has been making waves with his impressive stats. He’s clocked the second-most metres in the championship and is among the top for defenders beaten and metres after contact. But, there’s a feeling he’s not quite hitting his stride.
Historically a wing, Rees-Zammit made a stunning switch from American football back to rugby. Despite fewer minutes on the pitch in 2025, he was always making significant plays. Now, as Wales experiments with him at full-back, the team might not be utilising him to his full potential.
While he gets lots of touches, his effectiveness hasn’t quite mirrored his autumn performances. Defensively, a few positional issues have cropped up, and he’s eager to be more involved in the game. He thrives on scoring tries, yet he hasn’t found the back of the net this tournament.
Wales seems to need more out-and-out pace and creativity in their backline, and Rees-Zammit might be the key—if given a chance to run with it. Perhaps a move back to the wing is on the cards, where he’s consistently proven to be a powerful force.
It’s crucial for Wales to decide if they want to stick with him at full-back or let him unleash his full potential on the wing. What’s your take? Should he stay put or switch back? Let us know in the comments! 🌟
