Just love watching the progress of LRZ in this team. Such a hard worker, feet on the ground and talented. Fantastic family support around him and much of the UK are watching the progress of this. You can see Nike / Adidas signing him up soon as well, he has the image for it and lifestyle.
Same here bro, BIG thangs on the way for him!!!
Great rugby player. I think the NFL is attractive to a lot of young rugby players. Rugby is a sport that is governed in a very bureaucratic fashion and most of the money goes to the national unions. The clubs in the UK don't attract large crowds often enough to pay players like the NFL can. LRZ probably sees a lot of years left in his career and the opportunity to achieve retirement money in just a few years. I think LRZ will do well. The NFL just acquired a great talent.
He was one of the fastest rugby players in the world. He was the type of player that when he had the ball in open space, the defending team just stopped playing because they knew they wouldn't get near him.
That’s amazing! Yeah, he’s going to do great in the NFL🚀⭐️
Also lived in Haverfordwest as a child when my dad was in the army. Small world
Duuude that’s so awesome bro!! Yeah we were there from 93 until 95 and I left right before first grade, but I used to go to Mary immaculate Catholic primary school. Had an absolute blast over there 🏴❤️
Was there early 80s. Sure I went to Tasker Millward but a long time ago. Lovely coast. It was great as a kid
He also knows American Football and its little details. His Dad is a mad NFL fan and he grew up with the sport. So with his professional history and his in depth knowledge of the game gives him a massive edge over previous people swapping sports.
Rees was a current wales and lions international rugby player, one of the biggest stars of the game and he left it for the nfl, il be watching out for him def.😍
💯☝️
And missing you in Wales 😢
Gutted he’s left WRU. Would have been amazing to build the national team around him. But hey! They get paid peanuts and end up with brain injury’s and in a scrap heap! Go Zammit! ❤️🏴🇬🇧
Lrz has the talent to find open space
☝️💯
Rees-Lightening! LRZ has every chance at making it if he is given the opportunity. I think the major advantage he has is that he is coming from a professional, high level, environment where he knows that there is a level of expectation and has had to deal with that previous. He has played in massive, filled stadia and knows how to live and conduct himself as a professional athlete so a lot of the things that hold other back and become a weight on rookies or new players are hurdles he has already had to deal with. The british accent and pearly white smile wont do him any harm either, ha ha.
Thank you so much for tuning in bro, I completely agree with you man!
@TheTouchdownWithDougSmith Like a lot of people, especially rugby fans, certainly in the UK; the interest will be perked up in the NFL due to this high profile and recognisable name moving to the US to pursue the 'American dream'. As a former rugby player and fan of the NFL, it has definitely increased my interest even more to see how he goes as he is almost breaking the mould. As I said, he was already a pro, knows what it's like in a pro locker room, knows the expectation of a number of fascets within the professional game that exist in many sports, including the vast increase in money and the media etc so the things that overawe and overwhelm new professionals is not something he will be new to. He just has to get up to speed with things that make NFL different from rugby like the pads and helmet etc. But, run hard, run fast, evade tackles then get up and do it again; he has that part down or will be used to that part. Now, just do it regularly in Kansas instead of Gloucester.
Being from Wales mate, you can call him British as the Welsh as the English call us are thee British. Just don’t call anyone from Wales English, that’s a definite no no.
Appreciate the feedback and thank you for turning in bro🤝🫡
And of course many Welsh don’t like being called British!
I'm from Wales and I ain't British I'm welsh
@richard1403 so you are foreign on the your own island are you? The term Welsh is a Germanic term meaning Romanised foreigner. When in fact the term British was coined by the Romans and Greeks for the people the English call Welsh. Everything about Wales is native to Britain. The term Welsh was adopted by the people of Wales for one reason - because they think they are getting one over the Englishman when in reality he’s getting one over on you, after all he’s getting your nations history that goes along with the term Britons and British into antiquity. If a battle between Roman and Briton occurred in 200CE, who do you think a foreign would believe the battle was between? They’d think it was England vs Rome wouldn’t they, when in reality they would be referring to the people of Wales? After all they call themselves British and you refuse to. Do you see how saying you aren’t British is not only wrong but the abandonment of your nations history?
@simonjohnso5208 I’m not one of them, I know my nations history and where the terms of this island originate from. I’m not going to stop saying I’m British because the English also claim such. I will however point out the origins of why both use it.
His dad was also a professional American football player oversees, so LRZ is familiar with the game growing up around it!
Oh sweeet!! I had no clue about that. I saw him briefly on the Pat McAfee show doing an interview. Routing for him big time!!
Wrong. His father played in the European Football League and LRZ said he is his hero, learned from him and watched American football on TV live late at night in Wales and on TH-cam. He was a fan of American football long before seeing an actual live game. Thought this was the time to try out while he had reached almost all his goals in rugby. Had been coming to the US - Atlanta- for three years to work with a coach there. Your welcome.
If you had the choice you would be an absolute plum not to take the money.....
💯☝️
I have worked in Haverfordwest and loved it. Can you speak Welsh?
I don’t unfortunately, but I remember being taught it back when I went to Mary immaculate school. My dad was in the Navy and we ended up moving right before first grade. But Wales will forever hold you very special place of my heart. 🏴❤️
@@TheTouchdownWithDougSmith
Oh dear you are still loved in Wales and you can do your lessons on Duolingo, you will be able to say Bore da and proud to be Welsh.
@@eunicesaiti thank you so so much for your sweet and kind words. I pray for the day I get the opportunity to head back to Wales. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without God, putting me in that beautiful country. Some of the most precious, most innocent days of my life were back in Wales. I even did my ancestry DNA and I have some Welsh in me as well.
It will be interesting to see how he develops. He's coming from an endurance sport, his 24mph was recorded 72 minutes into an 80 minute game. He probably run about 4 miles already along with being tackled and tackling multiple times. If he can trade stamina for power he might get even faster
One problem with Rugby being so close is that he will have a lot of instinctive behaviour over years of play which are wrong now.
The other players from Rugby have said what they found hardest was the small stuff. The instinctive stuff
Very solid point. I noticed that the way they do cutbacks and Jukes are a bit different than the NFL/American football super excited for him! Thank you so much for tuning in.
lrz was tired of losing so he took the check instead of grinding like most ruggers, i don’t agree with his decision but i sort of understand it.
LRZ grew up surrounded by nfl through his dad playing for nfl in the uk, although rugby was his sport he was always geared towards nfl, watching it from a young age and also his dads real aspirations for LRZ were for him to play nfl in America hence why LRZ has been training in America for the past 3 years behind the scenes whilst also playing top rugby for wales and Gloucester, it’s his dream and I will bet he will make a massive impact
I love that, many people forget how popular American football has become overseas. Also noticed that the UK and Germany and a few other countries have their own football leagues and sometimes they even pack out stadiums.
*Welsh 🏴
Just corrected it, appreciate you boss!
LRZ ⚡️

Why move from rugby to grid iron? Grid iron is far less physical, less athletic, a smaller skill/ player base and a lot more cash.
None of that is true. Other rugby players have tried and failed. You knows nothing
@@hashbrown4278 Then why is Rugby a world wide sport where as Gris iron football is a minority sport out side of North America.
@@timphillips9954 which leads to a lot of ignorance. If you don’t follow the sport or know at all about it then you have no idea what skill it takes or doesn’t. NFL are some of the highest paid pro athletes in the world rugby players not even close despite being so world wide.
He obviously would stay in rugby if he could earn even half of what he will earn in the nfl dont get it twisted your sport is still slow and boring
It’s pretty cool, a fun team to watch is Fiji‘s national team. Those guys are insanely good
I get what you're saying but nah his dad used to play American football so he has said in multiple interviews this is a dream of his
@@gingealex99999 well he isnt going to say I'm just doing it for the money is he
Please get over yourself. You know nothing you don’t know him or why he’s doing what he’s doing. You’re just ignorant
@@davebrown9707why not? Why are you acting like you know what’s in his head? What he’s thinking? You’re just making assumptions and making a fool of yourself
