Louis is on track to be Wales' next wing king

I had the pleasure of being involved in a podcast with Louis Rees-Zammit the other day and I have to admit I was bowled over by his confidence, level-headedness, and desire to make it at the top level of the game.

Sometimes you just know from the body language, the look in the eyes, and the talk that a player is on the right track.

He may still be a teenager, but he looks the real deal, somebody I expect to see involved in Wales’ Autumn Internationals. There was a clamour to cap him when he was included in the Six Nations squad earlier in the year, but Wayne Pivac did the right thing in holding him back. Louis understands that, too.

He has got a taste, trained with some great players, and realises he has a long career ahead of him. There will be plenty of international rugby for him to play if he stays patient and bides his time. He also has to prove he is as good as, or better than, Josh Adams, George North, Liam Williams, Johnny McNicholl and Owen Lane.
