Louis Rees-Zammit insists the hard edge Wales showed against Argentina has to be there for every Test they play. The Gloucester player thrived at full-back at the weekend as he came through his positional switch from wing thanks to lessons on a laptop with Leigh Halfpenny. Rees-Zammit admitted the heat was on Wales, but the hard sweat of a 20-13 victory over the Pumas has to be only the start.

Justin Tipuric has admitted Wales were rightly trashed after their thrashing by the All Blacks and it fuelled their defiant victory over Argentina. The Wales captain gave an honest assessment of the criticism he and his squad received after the defeat to New Zealand – in which they leaked eight tries – and revealed how the players used it as motivation to overcome a dangerous Pumas team, 20-13. “We knew last week we’d have a lot of stick and rightly so, but this just shows the character in the team to bounce back,” said Tipuric.

By David Williams Louis Rees-Zammit will start at full-back in Wales’ Autumn Nations Series clash with Argentina on Saturday. He switches from the wing to fill a problem position for Wales, with Liam Williams and Leigh Halfpenny both injured.

By Graham Thomas   Rhys Williams has backed Louis Rees-Zammit to come through his D-day in Dublin on Saturday – just as Williams did himself for Wales 21 years ago. Rees-Zammit will make his first appearance at the Aviva Stadium, Ireland’s noisy citadel, when Wales open their Six Nations campaign – and begin the defence […]

By Gareth James Louis Rees-Zammit comes of age on Wednesday and will be looking to celebrate his 21st birthday in style at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.

By Tom Prosser Wayne Pivac was full of praise for his star speedster Louis Rees-Zammit after he scored a crucial try in Wales’ 38-23 comeback win over Fiji on Sunday afternoon. “That’s what he can do and you can’t coach that,” raved Pivac. “That just shows what an impact express pace can have.

By Steffan Thomas Wayne Pivac believes more exiles will follow Thomas Young’s lead and return to Welsh rugby.  Despite having only three test caps to his name Wasps back-row star Young was named in the Wales squad for this autumn’s tests against New Zealand, South Africa, Fiji, and Australia after signing a contract to join Cardiff Rugby next season.  And Pivac is confident the likes of Leicester’s Tommy Reffell, Bristol’s Callum Sheedy, Bath’s Taulupe Faletau, and Gloucester’s Louis Rees-Zammit will eventually join a Welsh region in the near future.
