Louis Rees-Zammit has broken into another team – in the same week he is expected to be included in the Wales squad for the 2020 Six Nations. The teenage Gloucester wing – who signed a long-term contract with the English club on Monday and is the current Premiership player of the month – has been named in the Cardiff Schools Team of the Decade, published by The Rugby Paper. Rees-Zammit, who is the nephew of the former Cardiff, Pontypool and Wales B full-back Paul Rees, will qualify for England this year on residency and has been sounded out by the World Cup finalists’ head coach, Eddie Jones. But he wants to play for the country where he was born and raised.

Louis Rees-Zammit has been backed to sprinkle the stardust of youth on the Six Nations if – as expected – he is named in Wayne Pivac’s Wales squad on Wednesday. Rees-Zammit has been the talk of English club rugby this season and the 18-year-old was provoking more debate over the weekend as he scored one try and set up another for Gloucester as they beat Montpellier, 29-6, in the Heineken Champions Cup. Pivac has already been to see Rees-Zammit for himself and may well be inclined to move quickly and name him in his first squad as Eddie Jones has reportedly approached Rees-Zammit about wearing the red rose of England, instead.
