Pivac's decision to drop Rees-Zammit makes no sense, he's the one player capable of lighting up a team that's too defensive and lacks creativity

I am getting a little concerned about the direction, or lack thereof, that the Welsh team are heading in.

They appear to be setting their new course on whatever happened in the last game played.

That is no way to build a side for a World Cup in just 18 months’ time.

I appreciate that Wales faced a difficult start away to Ireland and, after a chastening defeat, any sort of victory against Scotland was needed regardless of how it was achieved.

The win over the Scots was down to the desire and tenacity of the players to will themselves over the line, for which they have received a lot of credit.

And rightly so.

But I am worried that we now think the way we played against Scotland, when Wayne Pivac and his team were desperate for a win, suddenly becomes a template for the way we should play against England too.

Wales reverted to full on ‘Warrenball’ against Scotland. We offered very little in attack.

The game plan was catch and drive lineouts, put the ball in the air and smash it up with the forwards for a couple of phases.

We brought the game down to our level, an arm-wrestle that suited our key players more than Scotland’s and we won.

That approach may work against Scotland at home but it will not work against most decent teams. To beat France, Ireland, England, South Africa or New Zealand, we have to be able to offer more.

The game has moved on and teams must be able to score tries. That is why I was particularly surprised to read reports that Wayne Pivac had decided to drop Louis Rees-Zammit. In a side that has not looked capable of creating a try-scoring opportunity, Wales have dispensed with the only player they have who can score a try from nothing.

He is young and has aspects of his game he needs to improve, his
