Louis never got a fair crack in 'ruthless' NFL

- by ADAM HATHAWAY

LOUIS REES-ZAMMIT returned to rugby after fearing his talent was being wasted on the practice pitches of the cutthroat world of American football.

The Wales star had an 18-month crack at making it Stateside with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Jacksonville Jaguars before admitting defeat and heading home to union.

Rees-Zammit, who has 32 Welsh caps, signed for Bristol earlier this month after failing to make the transition from union wing to running back or wide receiver.

The 24-year-old is on a one-year deal at the Bears and has no regrets at having a go.
