Louis Rees-Zammit Returns to Wales Starting XV
Louis Rees-Zammit is set to make his return to the Wales starting XV as the team begins its Quilter Nations Series campaign against Argentina in Cardiff on Sunday, 9 November. The selection marks an important step for new head coach Steve Tandy, who will focus on choosing players based on their current form.
Team Strategy and Selection
Tandy has named a 39-man squad, keeping much of the framework established by previous coaches Warren Gatland and Matt Sherratt. While small tactical changes and new partnerships may emerge, no major overhauls are expected in the lineup.
Key Players to Watch
- Blair Murray (Scarlets, 10 caps) — Murray has been one of Wales’ standout players in recent matches. The 24-year-old’s creativity and calmness in attack have made him a consistent offensive threat during what has been a testing time for Welsh rugby.
- Louis Rees-Zammit (Bristol Bears, 32 caps) — Although he trained separately from the main group during last week’s open session at Principality Stadium, Rees-Zammit remains confident about returning against Argentina. If fit, he is almost certain to start, offering a significant boost to Tandy’s side this autumn.
“His return would provide a huge boost for Tandy’s side this autumn.”
