“Ronaldo is my favourite player,” Rees-Zammit stated. “I wear his boxers and I dress like him. And I thought ‘why not do his celebration as well’?
“A few of my mates back home wanted me to do it. They are massive football fans, and obviously we don’t play Portugal very often.
“So I said if I scored I would do it for them. But I don’t want to talk about the Man United result (a 3-1 home defeat to Brighton).”
Wales’ consideration now turns to a pivotal Pool C conflict towards Australia in Lyon subsequent weekend.
They headed again to their Versailles coaching base from the French Riviera on Sunday following successive bonus-point victories over Fiji and Portugal.

Rees-Zammit added: “That is 10 points, and we are absolutely buzzing about that. It wasn’t our greatest game again, but we know we have got a lot to learn. Going up against Australia we’ve got to step up a gear again.
“When you don’t get perfect wins there is always a lot to improve on. That’s great.
“We need that progress, and we have eight days until the next game, so we will have a good training week and hopefully be ready for Australia.”
