Earlier this year, Louis Rees-Zammit experienced the first real setback of his professional career.
He was dropped from the Wales squad ahead of the Six Nations clash with England, always the most hotly-anticipated clash on the calendar, and sent back to his club side Gloucester. His response would tell us a lot about the 21-year-old.
After rolling his ankle during the match against Ireland, Rees-Zammit's involvement in the matches in Dublin and then a week later against Scotland was not as noteworthy as usual. The games passed him by and, with the quality available to Wayne Pivac in the wide channels, he was left out of the Twickenham showdown.
