Today's rugby news as Wales receive major injury boost and Louis Rees-Zammit move ruled out by coach
These are your latest rugby headlines on Wednesday, August 13. Rees-Zammit move ruled out by coach Newcastle coach Steve Diamond has ruled out a potential move for Louis Rees-Zammit ahead of the new season, despite the club's takeover by energy drinks giants Red Bull. The Premiership club - who will now be known as Newcastle Red Bulls - have had their long-term future secured by the deal with "world-class" players expected to join them over the next few seasons. As a result, many had touted Wales international Rees-Zammit - who is looking for a club after announcing his return to rugby from the NFL last month - for a move to the north-east.

Sign up to Inside Welsh rugby on Substack to get exclusive news stories and insight from behind the scenes in Welsh rugby. Asked about a potential move for Rees-Zammit, the coach said: 'All players are going to be of interest now, but at this moment in time, we're just looking at the short term of this season; he won't be joining us for this season. "We're just getting as competitive as we can for Saracens in late September. We'll be looking at world-class facilities, world-class players and world-class coaches coming to Newcastle over the next three or four years to hopefully dominate in the future.' However, new signings will be arriving soon, with Diamond adding: "There'll be at least another two or three immediately. There are one or two guys who are currently playing in the southern hemisphere in the Rugby Championship, who won't be arriving till the autumn, but that's all in the plan." He continued: 'My job now is just to concentrate on the squad and the coaching staff on getting the best out of the current squad who've been through difficult times and the new players who are joining us. 'You can't just rush out and spend money. It never really works. So I think the infrastructure is really important, stadium, training ground, getting our academy right, making sure that it's producing kids with the right quality in the community. 'We've got to get our academy running as best we can get it. We've got to give kids a progression and the opportunity to learn, from 13 to 14, not just 15 to 16, and the skill sets cascade down from the first team, from the coaches of the first team, right through the academy system, so when people come in, they know that they're a Newcastle Red Bull. "They know what's expected of them, and they know what behaviour levels are expected of them. What I intend to do, certainly over the next six months, is to try and stabilise the place. We'll have a competitive squad, but that's just the beginning.' Wales get major injury boost as co-captain 'raring to go' By Ed Elliot, PA Co-captain Alex Callender is 'raring to go' for Wales' World Cup campaign after fearing she may miss the tournament following an injury scare. The Harlequins back-row sustained an ankle problem in the second Test defeat to Australia at the start of the month and was later pictured on crutches. But Callender, who on Monday was named in a 32-player squad, confirmed she will be available for her country's Pool B opener against Scotland on Saturday, August 23 in Salford. 'It was a precaution to take me off, I just tweaked an old injury, but I'm raring to go for Scotland,' Callender told reporters on Tuesday, according to BBC Sport. Callender missed most of the Six Nations with an ankle issue suffered playing for her club before impressing in Wales' 21-12 first-Test victory over Australia on July 26 in Brisbane. However, she left the field in the opening minutes of the 36-5 loss to the Wallabies in August 1's second Test in Sydney. Asked if she thought her World Cup was over at that stage, she replied: 'Yes, to be honest. But I'm in a really good place at the moment, I'm just excited to get going.' After beginning against Six Nations rivals Scotland, Wales take on group favourites Canada, who sit second in the world rankings, on August 30 and Fiji on September 6. Callender, who has 45 caps and will lead her country alongside Gloucester-Hartpury flanker Kate Williams, said: 'We live for these moments and these Test matches. 'We're all really excited to step out and showcase all the hard work that we've put in over the last couple of months, and hopefully we can put in a performance and the result will follow.' The Springboks could lose their spot at the top of the world rankings this weekend. Should Rassie Erasmus's team beat Australia, they will hold on to top spot no matter what happens in the other Rugby Championship match between Argentina and New Zealand. However, should the Springboks draw or lose to Australia, they will slip to second provided that the All Blacks beat the Pumas, with New Zealand then going top. Erasmus' side have been ranked as the best team in the world since November, when they took top spot back from Ireland, having previously held it from midway through the 2023 Rugby World Cup to September last year. History is on the Springboks' side, as they have never lost to Australia at Ellis Park before. However, the Wallabies are chasing another big win, having also won the final Test against the British and Irish Lions in Sydney earlier this month. 'It's really easy to look at what South Africa have done in the past and obviously they're a world-class team and for us it's just taking them for face value,' said Wallabies hooker Brandon Paenga-Amosa. 'We respect what they've done, we respect them as a team, winning World Cups but we're just going to take them at face value – what we see in front of our faces in Ellis Park is how we're going to see them. 'I definitely think we're at a better place now than we were 12 months ago. 'Off the back of a really good win against the Lions, we just want to continue to build that momentum going into the TRC (The Rugby Championship) against South Africa, Argentina and then the All Blacks. 'First stop though here at Ellis Park, so we're looking at definitely continuing that momentum.' By Ed Elliot, PA World player of the year Ellie Kildunne intends to emulate Lionesses star Chloe Kelly by ensuring her name is printed on fans' shirts following the Women's Rugby World Cup. The Harlequins full-back is brimming with confidence ahead of her country's quest for global glory on home soil and has taken inspiration from England's footballers retaining the European Championship title. Arsenal forward Kelly played a starring role in the Euro 2025 triumph in Switzerland after propelling herself into the limelight by scoring the winning goal in the Euro 2022 final at Wembley. Kildunne is key to the Red Roses' ambitions of lifting silverware at Twickenham next month and hopes the team can follow in the Lionesses' footsteps by becoming household names and raising the profile of women's sport. 'Outside this pub, there are Chloe Kelly shirts being sold on the street,' Kildunne, who is supporting Asahi Super Dry's campaign to have the tournament shown in pubs across the UK, told the PA news agency. 'That's what the Euros have done for the Lionesses and the opportunity we've got with this World Cup is to have Kildunne shirts being sold on the side of the street; for young girls and boys to have posters of Emily Scarratt and Meg Jones on their walls and not just Jonny Wilkinson. 'I'm inspired by the Lionesses and what they've done for women's football and I hope for nothing less (for women's rugby) than what they've been able to achieve so far.'

Chiefs players ‘teased' Travis Kelce in locker room for 2016 dating show, Derrick Johnson says
There was a time when Travis Kelce's dating life was the subject of entertainment media, even without Taylor Swift. In 2016, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end had his own dating show, 'Catching Kelce,' on which he tried out dating 50 women, one from each state, in an attempt to find a girlfriend. Advertisement The show lasted one season. Kelce's former teammate, Chiefs all-time tackle leader Derrick Johnson, told Fox News Digital how the locker room reacted to Kelce's dating show. 'He tried not to [talk about the show in the locker room] but we kind of teased him at times, because when you're playing for Andy Reid, there's no distractions. You got to do your job and do it at a high level. So we were aware of the show in the locker room. We'd throw different stuff out there. But when it came to football, it was all business,' Johnson said. Kelce turned 27 in October 2016 when the show aired, overlapping with that year's NFL season. Advertisement The tight end was in the midst of his first 1,000-yard receiving season and second-of-10-straight Pro Bowl seasons. And while the teasing for the show came in the locker room, Johnson says the team's veterans also respected the younger Kelce's abilities when it came to dating. 'He had that taken care of. Good or bad, that's the area that he needs no help in,' Johnson said. 5 Travis Kelce led the dating show 'Catching Kelce' in 2016. YouTube/E! Advertisement 5 The NFL star's dating show only lasted one season. E! 5 Kelce did not date the winner of his show for a long time. E! The show's first and only season ended with Kelce choosing a contestant from Kentucky, Maya Benberry, as his girlfriend. However, by 2017, Kelce was reported to have begun dating his next girlfriend, model Kayla Nicole. Advertisement Kelce and Nicole reportedly dated for five years up until May 2022. Once Kelce began his relationship with Swift in 2023, Johnson took notice. 5 Kelce was 'teased' about his dating show in the locker room, according to Chiefs all-time tackle leader Derrick Johnson. Fox News 5 Kelce started dating Taylor Swift in 2023. AP 'He outkicked his coverage. Taylor's big time,' Johnson said. 'Kelce's big time as well, football-wise, but she is globally. So they're definitely a power couple.' Johnson left the Chiefs for the rival Raiders for his final season in 2018, but his lasting influence preceded the team's historic dynasty and three Super Bowl wins, with five total trips to the big game, from 2019 to February 2024. Johnson was famously a team leader on defense in the early years of Kelce's career. 'None of us knew who he could really be. He probably didn't know it at all either. And once he got going after his second year, third year, I was like, 'This guy is the man!'' Johnson said.

Dallas Cowboys Fans Applaud Denzel Washington For Jerry Jones Rant
Dallas Cowboys Fans Applaud Denzel Washington For Jerry Jones Rant originally appeared on The Spun. Legendary actor Denzel Washington doesn't play around when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys. Washington appeared on ESPN's "First Take" this Tuesday to promote his upcoming film, "Highest 2 Lowest." The two-time Academy Award winner also had a discussion about the Cowboys with ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith. His favorite NFL team has received a lot of backlash for the way it has handled contract negotiations with All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons. The Cowboys haven't reached the Super Bowl in nearly 30 years. Although he didn't completely blame Jerry Jones for that drought, Washington dished out some blunt advice for the owner of "America's Team" while on ESPN. "He ain't thinking about us. He's thinking about his pocket," Washington said. "There is box office and there is Oscars. Jerry, been a while, huh? Ain't been to the show, you wouldn't know. Ain't been to the show, wouldn't know. Haven't been to the show, wouldn't know what it is to win." NFL fans, especially those residing in Dallas, loved this rant from Washington. They think it perfectly captures what's wrong with the Cowboys. "Facts," a Cowboys fan wrote on X. "Please relay to Jerry & Stephen, the fans want Micah signed, stop waiting so long to pay top players, hire a GM, quit kicking the can at RB, and stop talking football in the media, that's the head coach's job. As Emmitt Smith said, the business isn't aligned with football operations." "Didn't know my goat is a Cowboys fan and he called Jerry a clown on live tv. Greatest aura ever," a second Dallas fan commented. "Denzel calling out Jerry Jones wasn't on my 2025 bingo card. And I'm absolutely here for it," another fan said. "Denzel still got his fastball. Remarkable talent," a social media user wrote. Fans are sure hoping Jones will listen to Washington's advice about how "all money ain't good money." Jones hasn't responded to Washington's remarks yet. If we had to guess, he's not really offended that he got called out by the "Remember the Titans" star. After all, Jones enjoys being in the spotlight. Dallas Cowboys Fans Applaud Denzel Washington For Jerry Jones Rant first appeared on The Spun on Aug 13, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 13, 2025, where it first appeared.
