LRZ back in his 'happy place' and ready to show his star quality
Western Mail
|November 13, 2025
LOUIS Rees-Zammit is determined to bring star quality to rugby after returning from his 18-month spell in the NFL "heavier, faster and more explosive" than when he left the game in January 2024.
Rees-Zammit made his first Wales appearance since the 2023 World Cup against Argentina on Sunday, coming on as a second-half replacement during the 52-28 defeat in Cardiff.
The 24-year-old British and Irish Lions winger later described playing at Principality Stadium as "my happy place".
Rees-Zammit had spells with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Jacksonville Jaguars, although he did not play a competitive game in the NFL before signing for Bristol in August.
"It's a lot different out in America," Rees-Zamitt said on media duty ahead of Wales' Autumn Nations Series clash with Japan.
"Those stars are global. They push their sport through their players. It's something in rugby that isn't done as much.
