Rees-Zammit switches from the wing to earn a fourth cap in the number 15 jersey as Tandy looks for solutions to Wales wretched run of form in which they have won only two of their last 23 tests and none of the previous 11 in the Six Nations.

It is the first time he has started at fullback since the last game of the 2023 Six Nations, a defeat by France in Paris. He forms a back three alongside Josh Adams and Ellis Mee, with Ben Thomas and Eddie James filling the centre positions. Tandy has kept faith with Edwards at flyhalf, with Tomos Williams retaining the number nine jersey.

Hooker Dewi Lake captains the side from the front row, with props Nicky Smith and Archie Griffin either side of him, while Dafydd Jenkins and Adam Beard are the lock pairing.
