Louis Rees-Zammit watched helplessly from the stands as England scored 10 tries in Wales a year ago. They suffered back-to-back Wooden Spoon humiliations without him, and while ‘Rees Lightning’ alone won’t gloss over Welsh rugby’s many deep-rooted problems, the return of the superstar NFL winger will give Steve Tandy a huge boost.
Maro Itoje was named in the dock following the death of his mother. This is the first Six Nations match in seven years that the omnipresent England captain has not started. There is huge enthusiasm for Northampton duo Fraser Dingwall and Tommy Freeman, who helped their side reach the top of the Premiership, as the league’s top scorers.
Wales have lost 21 of their last 23 matches, with the only two victories coming against Japan last year. With captain Jac Morgan expected to miss the majority of the championship due to a dislocated shoulder, Dewi Lake was handed the armband.
Despite the teams’ contrasting fortunes, the prevailing hope is that Welsh pluck will inspire a much closer contest than the 68-14 annihilation 12 months ago. One man who certainly doesn’t need to be prodded is flanker Alex Mann, who looks to liquidate opponents Henry Pollock-style.
