But one of the biggest attacking threats in the Welsh back line believes things will progress as the youngsters being introduced into Warren Gatland’s new look squad get a chance to gel.
“With a new coaching set-up it’s always going to be tough going from one to the other. It’s two completely different styles and it’s about trying to figure out where the best combinations are,” said Rees-Zammit.
“Come the end of the Six Nations our attack will be a lot better. The talent is there for sure. It’s just about clicking and working on the combinations. Two new players playing together isn’t going to work overnight but come the end of the Six Nations we’ll be alright.”
Rees-Zammit and co have to go to Italy to try to avert winning the Wooden Spoon for the first time in 20 years. The Italians have yet to win a game, but have pushed both France and Ireland at home and beat Wales in Cardiff last season.
“We’ve just got to focus on our rugby, ,and we have to start from Italy. Hopefully, we can put in a good performance,” he added.
“’Gats’ is trying to find his combinations, whether that’s youth or experience. Whatever fits best is obviously going to help the team a lot more.
“The new combinations went well but we obviously need to keep on improving. We’ve lost again, which isn’t good enough – we can hopefully put a good performance in against Italy.
“It was a tough week for all of us but we are progressing. I think we’re trying to find our attack a little bit, although our defence is coming along strong.
“We’ll have to go back and see where we can get better and probably be a little bit more clinical in the 22. We got there and discipline cost us a few points.”
