CARDIFF (Reuters) -Wales have put returning wing Louis Rees-Zammit on the bench for Sunday’s test against Argentina but given prop forward Rhys Carre a first start in more than two years as new coach Steve Tandy named his first side on Friday.

Carre will start at loosehead having not played since 2023 as he was previously ineligible under the Welsh Rugby Union's selection policy because he has 20 caps, five short of the required number for those playing with clubs outside Wales.
