Les Kansas City Chiefs ont annoncé ne pas avoir retenu dans leur effectif pour la saison la jeune star du rugby gallois Louis Rees-Zammit, qui avait été mis à l’essai ces derniers mois par les doubles champions en titre de NFL.

Rees-Zammit, 23 ans, figure dans la liste des joueurs « libérés » par la franchise du Missouri, publiée tard mardi. Cela signifie qu’il ne fait pas partie du groupe de 53 joueurs retenus pour disputer la saison régulière, qui débute dans dix jours. Il peut toutefois continuer de s’entraîner avec les Chiefs, et envisager d’être recruté par une autre équipe du championnat professionnel nord-américain (NFL).

L’ailier aux 42 sélections avait annoncé en janvier mettre sa carrière de joueur de rugby entre parenthèses, quelques semaines après la Coupe du monde 2023, lors de laquelle le pays de Galles avait atteint les quarts de finale.

Statistiques modestes

Le vainqueur du tournoi des Six nations 2021 avait expliqué vouloir tenter l’aventure en NFL et les Chiefs, la franchise la plus en vue ces dernières années, avait annoncé son recrutement fin mars.

Le Gallois avait au préalable participé au programme international d’intégration des joueurs étrangers en NFL et effectué des essais non concluants avec les New York Jets, les Cleveland Browns et les Denver Broncos, selon la presse américaine.

Durant les matches de présaison, qui ont eu lieu en août, Louis Rees-Zammit a été (peu) utilisé à plusieurs postes, avec des statistiques modestes (22 yards en 6 courses, 3 yards sur 1 réception), d’après ESPN.

Vainqueurs de trois des cinq derniers Superbowls, les Chiefs du quarterback Patrick Mahomes et du tight-end Travis Kelce – le petit ami de la superstar de la musique, Taylor Swift – débuteront leur saison dans leur stade d’Arrowhead le 6 septembre face aux Ravens de Baltimore.

Les affiches des quarts de finale de Champions Cup

My university days were a whirlwind of excitement and unforgettable experiences, a time when I not only forged lifelong friendships but also met my ex-girlfriend. Our relationship blossomed over three years, during which she introduced me to the fascinating world of cryptocurrency trading. What began as a mere curiosity quickly evolved into a fervent passion, and to my surprise, I discovered I had a knack for it. I started with an initial investment of $5,500 in Bitcoin, a decision that would prove to be incredibly fortuitous as the cryptocurrency market surged. Through careful trading strategies and reinvesting my profits, I managed to amass a fortune that peaked at an impressive $310,000.The joy of my financial success was overshadowed by the unraveling of my relationship. The betrayal came when I discovered her infidelity, a painful revelation that shattered my trust. Just when I thought things couldn’t get worse, she crossed a line I never anticipated. In a shocking act of betrayal, she hacked into my email account, which was crucial for managing my cryptocurrency investments. Fortunately, I had the foresight not to store my wallet passwords there, but the situation escalated when she made off with my phone, which granted her access to several of my accounts. A wave of panic washed over me as I grasped the full extent of the damage she could inflict.Confused,I turned to my network of crypto-savvy friends on Instagram, hoping for guidance. It was during this frantic search for help that multiple people recommended GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES , a service renowned for its expertise in navigating such crises. With time slipping away and my investments hanging in the balance, I reached out to GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES , detailing my dire situation and praying for a miracle.To my immense relief, GRAYWARE TECH SERVICES worked diligently to recover my accounts and, against all odds, successfully retrieved all my cryptocurrency. Their expertise not only salvaged my investments but also restored my faith in the community.

As the balance of power shifts away from Ireland, has Andy Farrell got his Lions calls right?

Yeah, about that.

He brought on a promising chap called Courtenay Lawes off the bench to replace him if memory serves.

He ain’t that slow, and when he gets hold of you, you don’t get off the hook!

Even the ex-props cannot be certain in real time! We ran a few experiments….

For pens, stick to flagrant and dangerous play like collapses, otherwise make the feeding side use the ball.

I told him that before he took over and he didn’t believe he couldn’t find a 7 in the Prem! How long did Harrison last in that Test v Aussie? 30 minutes or so!

Cards are not accidents, they are the result of pressure exerted. The ABs could not handle that pressure, and something [more than one thing] broke.

If you take away the GKing, I would take at least four other FBs ahead of Ramos right now. Even Buros from UBB is better.

They’ll rest whoever they see fit in the final analysis.

Yeah, joking aside it should be blown by specialists. Or at the very least get all test ref’s up to speed by speaking to a few ex-props.

I think it should be a separate 30 second scrum clock. Don’t stop the game clock.

30 seconds to set, engage, throw it in and get it out. No re-sets. One shot.

You don’t want props to feel left out and you don’t want it to go the way of rugby league, scrums are no longer useful if they can’t be ref’d properly.

Hee hee, yeah he is the heaviest lock around, but honestly the best is an absolute stretch. RG Snyman isn’t alot lighter and offers way more athleticism. There are actually quite a few powerful locks that offer more than the slower than treacle Skelton, hence why he never really makes much impact vs the top tier test teams

It won’t make any diff to the number of Toulouse players withdrawn from the tour of NZ though.

I would suggest something more radical. We don’t want tech pens for perceived indiscretions and we don’t want reset scrums taking any time [at all] off the game clock.

I’d prefer the scrum to be under rather than over-reffed as you’re suggesting - mostly by ppl who don’t really know what’s happening. If there is doubt, let the scrum play out!

I was thinking exactly that as I put the list together.

In fact, it’s more recent than 2012. I remember Eddie lamenting the ‘Six and a halves’ he had going into the 2016 England tour of Oz. He went with Robshaw and Haskell, and then Temaina Harrison at ‘7’ in the last test because Haskell was injured.

Has Ramos surpassed Will Jordan? You mean now that Ramos has reverted back to 15, a position Will Jordan is still growing into at test level? Ramos was covering 10 last year while N’tmack was still out.

Wasn’t that the same dream team that had Lomax in it, lol?!

Based on recent form. A storming 6N and an undefeated Nov series. I’m still not seeing an argument for a better current backline than Ramos, Penaud, LBB.

'What he’s given to this club is nothing short of incredible'

Perhaps he's been on borrowed time but he didnt pick himself. And there have still been some remarkable performances.

And even now nobody is sure who'll take his spot in the 23. Especially with Conan if not over the hill, beyond the top.

I watched the (warm-up) game were the Boks led 14-0 on the back of a try created by one up runners and an intercept. AB’s had a player in the bin during this time.

Then around 39 mins it’s a red card. In the second half they score 3 lineout maul tries exposing the player advantage. Two in the corner and Kwagga splitting off the back to go close to the posts.

Ramos? Who’s a better test level 15 at the moment? Do Bielle-Biarrey’s 8 TRIES in this years 6N merely count as great?

We could always discuss your team, Edward?

Do you even have one? Too afraid to join in?

Galthie remarked about 20 protected players but that was last summer.

The agreement with the league was signed months after in October last year. It’s only stipulation is around resting finalists.
