Tonight's rugby news as Rees-Zammit 'could have made' Jaguars team and England launch World Rugby appeal
Tonight's rugby news as Rees-Zammit 'could have made' Jaguars team and England launch World Rugby appeal The latest rugby news from Wales and beyond. Louis Rees-Zammit previously played for Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs. (Image: (Photo by)) Your rugby evening headlines on Saturday, August 9. Rees-Zammit 'could have made the Jaguars team' Louis Rees-Zammit could have made the Jacksonville Jaguars team, according to Sky Sports NFL pundit and former New York Giants cornerback Jason Bell. The former Gloucester Rugby winger has decided to quit American football and return to rugby after one season on the practice squad with Jaguars, with whom he did not play a regular season game. Preparing for his role as an analyst on Sky, Bell watched Rees-Zammit in pre-season training and was impressed with him, even suggesting he could have made the team. "Professional sport gives you a very short window," Bell said to The Guardian. "You're always fighting Father Time. "Louis should be very proud of himself. In the NFL we celebrate players who can play two different positions. The fact he even attempted to play a totally different sport at the very highest level is amazing. This year he could have made the team from what I saw in training, you never really know. Article continues below "I'm the wrong person to ask because I wasn't supposed to make it. I wasn't picked up in the draft, but ended up playing in the NFL for eight years." Rees-Zammit is now searching for his new club upon his return to rugby, with Cardiff and Bristol Bears just two of the clubs reportedly interested in acquiring his services. The Wales international is also being targeted by the new R360 league, which he will reportedly join next year after one season back in club rugby. England boss appeals to World Rugby over star's eligibility England head coach Steve Borthwick is appealing to World Rugby about the eligibility of English-based South African players, according to The Telegraph. Benhard Janse van Rensburg, Hanro Liebenberg and Jacques Vermeulen are players who are blocked from being called up by England because they have represented South Africa under-20s. However, the RFU believes they should be allowed to switch allegiance. Between 2015 and 2017, South Africa U20s were officially the 'next national representative team', meaning that despite the fact they never played for the senior side, these players are blocked from representing other countries. If World Rugby agrees with England's challenge, then it could unlock a whole host of Test match talent for Borthwick and Co. The meeting will take place at the end of September, and follows the news that the RFU wanted clarification over whether these South African players should remain "captured" by their country. Van Rensburg has openly discussed his desire to one day play Test rugby for England. Schmidt reveals Wallabies injury fallout from Lions series Australia head coach Joe Schmidt has offered a mixed update on the fitness of his star players just a week after their British & Irish Lions series triumph – and with the Rugby Championship opener against South Africa looming. Schmidt confirmed that key forwards Rob Valetini, Will Skelton and Taniela Tupou are all expected to be available for next Saturday's clash at Ellis Park, despite carrying knocks from the three-Test series win over the Lions. Tupou has been nursing a toe injury picked up during his influential display in the Sydney decider, while Valetini missed the first and third Tests with a calf problem. Skelton also sat out the opener with a similar issue before returning for the final two games. 'They're definitely all in contention for Ellis Park,' Schmidt told the Sydney Morning Herald. 'Will played 60 minutes [in the third Test], Nela [Tupou] played 60-odd in Sydney… Bobby [Valetini] did a really good run yesterday, so our ambition is that he'll train fully with us this week.' The Wallabies will face the Springboks again in Pretoria a week later. However, fly-half Tom Lynagh and prop Allan Alaalatoa remain longer-term concerns. Lynagh is following return-to-play protocols after concussion, while Alaalatoa is recovering from a shoulder injury. 'We're going to have to see how the next two weeks go for both of them,' Schmidt said. 'Allan is recovering pretty well… We'll also be really conservative with Tom. He's a young player and we've just got to make sure we look after them as best we can.' Ireland fall to Canada in final warm-up game before World Cup By PA Sport Staff Canada scored seven tries on their way to a 47-26 victory over Ireland in their final Women's Rugby World Cup warm-up match. Ireland made 10 changes as they prepare for their first game of the tournament against Japan on August 24 but they were second best in Belfast. Canada raced into an early 14-0 lead as Florence Symonds and Justine Pelletier touched down under the posts. Canada's Daleaka Menin was then sent to the sin bin for high contact on Ivana Kiripati and they were made to pay when the hosts halved the deficit through Beibhinn Parsons' try in the corner. Pelletier restored the 14-point lead for Canada before Ireland were reduced to 14 players when captain Neve Jones was shown yellow for conceding too many penalties. Menin barged over for a fourth try before Paige Farries helped make it 33-7 at the break. Julia Schell walked under the sticks to push Canada over the 40-mark but Ireland started to score points of their own. Article continues below Anna McGann helped herself to a couple of tries and Parson scored a third unanswered try before Canada's Sophie de Goede capped off the win.

Former Rangers coach says team leaks are nothing new and explains how they dealt with them last season
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FORMER Rangers coach Neil McCann says team leaks aren't a new problem for the club. The Gers team-line up for their Champions League qualifier against Viktoria Plzen last Tuesday came out on social media hours before the match. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 2 Former Rangers boss Barry Ferguson and coaches Billy Dodds and Neil McCann Credit: Willie Vass 2 Russell Martin's team was leaked before their 3-0 win over Viktoria Plzen Credit: PA Boss Russell Martin says he doesn't believe the leak was intentional and McCann who was part of Barry Ferguson's backroom team last season says also had problems. Speaking on BBC Scotland's s Open All Mics on Saturday, McCann revealed: "We had teams getting out as well last year. "Going out very early as well. "We had a word with the players and said we are aware the team is getting out, if you're disappointed try and keep it in. "Russell's right, how do you control a family member or an agent? "I know a lot of these training sessions are filmed now and there's access to the filming daily, so that's a risk. "That's something I brought up about not having access to training footage the day before a match - say it's a Friday shape session. "I wouldn't want anybody having access to that outside the coaching team. "But there are various ways the team can get out. When Ross McCausland knew it was time to leave Rangers and why he's been blown away by his REPLACEMENTS "I don't think it's anything malicious and it's someone being left out and saying 'right I hope they get stuffed tomorrow I am going to let the team out'. "I agree with Russell's thought process. "There won't be too much change maybe it's an advantage because you can match up your set pieces and you've got a fair idea of how they might play against you." Nico Raskin and captain James Tavernier were dropped for last Tuesday's game along with Kieran Dowell and Danilo as Russell Martin's side swept aside the Czechs in a 3-0 first leg win. The return leg is in the Czech Republic on Tuesday. Rangers hero Derek Ferguson who was also on the show, added: "They will know who is in the wrong and that shouldn't happen again because if it does then it does become a problem and it is intentional."

It's back to domestic affairs to Rangers today after a successful midweek in Europe. Russell Martin 's men took a huge step towards the play-off qualification round of the Champions League with a 3-0 hammering of Viktoria Plzen and will be confident of finishing off the job next Tuesday. Summer signing Djeidi Gassama continued his fine start to life with Gers by bagging a brace while fellow newboy Oliver Antman caught the eye on his debut. Rangers will face the winner of the tie between Club Brugge and Red Bull Salzburg in the play-off, with the the Belgians holding a slender advantage going into the return fixture. But before then the Light Blues need to get their Premiership campaign up and running. Last weekend's 1-1 draw away to Motherwell saw Martin rip into his players in his post-match debrief, vowing that those who can't reach his standards will be moved on. Rangers face a Dundee side this evening that have been left reeling after a poor start to the domestic season. New boss Steven Pressley watched his team crash out of the Premier Sports Cup at the first hurdle, with the Dens Park side then opening up their Premiership calendar with a 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Hibs last weekend. The former Hearts and Celtic midfielder has been left sweating on the fitness of talisman captain Simon Murray, who's 16 Premiership strikes last season were vital in keeping Dee in the top-flight/
