New Wales rugby union head coach Steve Tandy believes he will have the talent at his disposal to meet the ambitious target of a return to the world's top five sides.Tandy becomes the first Welshman to coach the national side since 2007 when Wales have slipped to 12th in the world rankings and had lost 17 successive matches before beating Japan last month in the final game of Matt Sherratt's interim reign.

New Wales boss Steve Tandy screamed in shock and told his daughter to pass him her phone after she read Louis Rees-Zammit was returning to rugby union.

Louis Rees-Zammit could be return to international rugby this autumn having returned from two years playing American football.
