#4. Louis Rees-Zammit
- Major teams Gloucester Rugby, Wales
- Position Wing
- Coach rejected Eddie Jones
Eddie Jones knew from an early stage the 20-year-old was a talent worth courting. The wingers clinical finishing has been underlined by a haul of four tries in six Wales appearances, including two in the recent victory over Scotland. Jones rang Rees-Zammit in early 2020, but he told the Aussie that he was only interested in playing for Wales.
