Building a Foundation Under Tandy
Rees-Zammit acknowledged the team is still developing under Tandy’s leadership but saw encouraging signs in their recent performance. ”You could see glimpses last weekend of what’s to come.That was building a foundation of where we want to be and what team we want to be,” he stated. He emphasized the importance of translating training performance to match days, stating, “We can do as much as we can in training, but we’ve got to show it on the weekend when all the fans have paid good money to come watch us play. It’s what they deserve.”
High Stakes Against Japan
The upcoming match against Japan carries significant weight. According to the World Rugby Rankings, a victory for Eddie Jones’ Japan would see them surpass wales into 12th place. This would impact seeding for the December World Cup draw.

The match is scheduled for November 30, 2024, at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. Wales Online reports the game will kick off at 3:30 PM GMT.
Team Unity and Preparation
Rees-Zammit highlighted the team’s focus and commitment. “Everyone’s locked in on what’s next. Japan will be a tough game,but everyone is raring to go and is buying in 100%.We’re all ready,” he said. This unified approach is crucial as Wales aims to improve its standing in the world rankings and secure a favorable draw for the next World Cup.
