With Warburton's endorsement, Rees-Zammit has undoubtedly bolstered his chances of making the Lions squad. The Welsh winger is looking to make his mark on the international stage and the Lions tour offers him the perfect opportunity to showcase his skills and prove himself against the best in the world.
It'll be exciting to see if Rees-Zammit can live up to the expectations, but one thing's for sure – the Welsh star is one to watch!
