Rees-Zammit has not played in the tournament for three years, having famously left rugby union for an 18-month spell in the NFL on the eve of the 2024 competition. The 25-year-old Bristol flyer made his Wales comeback in November, but the team’s Six Nations opener will be only the fourth time in 36 Test appearances that he has started at fullback.
“I love it. It allows me to get more touches on the ball in open field; it suits my game,” Rees-Zammit said of the positional switch. “I much prefer it. I've played 15 in the past for Wales, but I think now I’m kind of seen as a 15 that can play on the wing. It just brings something different and the way Bristol play is absolutely perfect for me.”
