Gloucester star enjoying life with the Dragons

on the international scene has given Wales boss Wayne Pivac another destructive weapon among threequarter options that also include George North, Liam Williams, Josh Adams and Jonathan Davies.

“When I first came into camp for the last Six Nations it was a shock, even in training,” added Rees-Zammit, who only made his Gloucester debut in April 2018.

“Obviously, I didn’t play, but in training I was blowing after five minutes! I’ve worked with the strength and conditioning squad and all the management, and I am a lot fitter now.

“The intensity is a lot different at international level, but it is similar players.”

Rees-Zammit’s Murrayfield masterclass left television pundits like Jonathan Davies and Jeremy Guscott enthusing about his quality, which was underlined by a stunning second try 10 minutes from time.

“I was calling for the ball nice and early as I saw there was a lot of space on the outside,” he said.

“Thankfully, Willis (Halaholo) gave it to me and I tried to use my gas to get on the outside of their winger.

“I did that and then saw there was no back-field (cover), which is always nice to see.

“It gives you that opportunity to put it (kick) through and try and get the bounce. It bounced up lovely for me.”

Wales will now target a fifth win from six Tests - a stark contrast to last year’s run of six successive defeats - when England come calling.

“We are nowhere near the finished article,” Rees-Zammit added.

“We are not overly happy with our performances in the first couple of weeks, so we’ve got a lot of work-ons. We will take that into next week and the week after, building to England.”
