Tandy names wing in squad after 21-month absence

Rhys Carré also included after he requalifies for selection
Louis Rees-Zammit is in line for an international comeback for Wales next month, 21 months after Âabandoning the sport to try his luck in American football. Rees-Zammit, now 24, is among 39 players named in the first squad to be picked by the new national head coach, Steve Tandy.
The British & Irish Lions wing, who won the most recent of his 32 caps at the 2023 World Cup, made the switch to American football in January 2024 but ended up not featuring in a Âcompetitive NFL game. He returned to union in August when he joined the English Prem side Bristol.
