Only Scotland wing Duhan Van Der Merwe scored more, and Rees-Zammit linked back up with Wales this week after posting a spectacular 80-metre solo touchdown during Gloucester’s Gallagher Premiership victory over Newcastle last Saturday. Ireland have lost just once in the countries’ last seven Aviva Stadium meetings and go into Six Nations action on the back of an unbeaten Autumn Nations Series that included them toppling New Zealand. Wales also have a number of key personnel absent through injury, with British and Irish Lions quintet Alun Wyn Jones George North, Ken Owens, Justin Tipuric and Josh Navidi currently sidelined.
