Rees-Zammit to miss out on starting berth for Wales

WINGER COULD STILL FEATURE ON BENCH WHILE CARRE'S EXILE COMES TO AN END

- BEN JAMES Rugby Correspondent [e-mail]

LOUIS Rees-Zammit has missed out on a place in the Wales starting XV against Argentina on Sunday, but Rhys Carre is set for an instant return after his Test exile.

It is understood the 24-year-old winger is pushing for a place on the bench but still had “boxes to tick” as the week progressed to prove his fitness after the injury that has kept him out for the past month.

Carre is set to make his first Wales Test appearance in nearly three years, with the Saracens loosehead in line to start against the Pumas.

The powerful prop's last appearance for Wales came in the 2023 Six Nations, before being frozen out by Warren Gatland during his ill-fated second stint in charge of Wales.
