Rees-Zammit made his international debut as a substitute against Argentina in Cardiff, and was denied a start for the first time since.
Wales under Tendy have lined up without him only against South Africa and the Barbarians when the England-based players were ineligible.
Former center Tom Shanklin believes the management team is trying to fire the wing.
“Louis Rees-Zammitt is the most X-factor player we’ve ever had,” he said Scrum v.
“Maybe they’re trying to motivate him and get his appetite back.
“For me, he’s still our number one wing but Ellis has made a difference off the bench.
“I probably wouldn’t have dropped him. I still would have put him in there because you don’t lose your X-factor overnight.”
The challenge for Rees-Zammit is to ensure he is on the field from the first whistle against South Africa in Durban in the final game of the long 2025-26 season.
