Portugal Colonial - Wales' Rees-Zammit at full-back for Six Nations return against England

Rees-Zammit has not played in the tournament for three years, announcing his decision to leave 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 this will be only the fourth time in 36 Test appearances he will have started at full-back.

"I love it. It allows me to get more touches on the ball in open field, it suits my game," Rees-Zammit said about playing full-back in an interview with the BBC.

"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."

Wales go into Saturday's match as huge outsiders given they have lost 21 of their last 23 Tests, whereas England are on an 11-game winning streak.
