“It’s hard for the crowd to get involved when we’re not playing very well and we’re letting in tries for fun early on in the game.<\/p>\n
“When you have a good start to the game, that’s when you can start bringing in your home fans, you can start playing better.<\/p>\n
“The boys then feel the energy, and it just brings a bit of momentum to us. You’ve got to start well and bring the crowd into the game.<\/p>\n
“The fans give us so much energy, especially against Scotland. That was an unbelievable feeling being on the pitch with 70,000 people cheering for us.”<\/p>\n
Rees-Zammit returned to rugby from his bid to crack the NFL last summer and has since won just one of his seven Test appearances.<\/p>\n
Wales led until the 75th minute against the Scots and were 12-10 down at half-time in Dublin and were down by a score until a 76th minute penalty.<\/p>\n
“The past two games, we should have won them both, but they were against two very good outfits in Scotland and Ireland who have been together a long time,” insisted Rees Zammit.<\/p>\n
“We’re just building and, I said it after the France game, we’ve just got to start trusting each other and we have really started to do that for the last two games.<\/p>\n
“That’s why we’ve been able to put performances in that have been exciting, not just for us playing but people watching as well.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“It’s hard for the crowd to get involved when we’re not playing very well and we’re letting in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":469215,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-469214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=469214"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469214\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/469215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=469214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=469214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=469214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
