LRZ is awesome. Taking a risk and going for it is courage. The rd sounds like its been hard but he's showing some good resilience and oushing on with his new team. Well done.

Jim reminds me of an old mate who used to say everything was the best in the world. If he went to a restaurant he’d be telling everyone at work the next day that it was the best in the world. If he listened to a live band it was the best in the world. If he went on holiday and it was pissing down with rain the whole time he’d still say it was the best holiday in the world.

Every sport is crossing over with other sports now. It’s great we have someone like LRZ to help open that door of the biggest sport in the world. Especially with the World Cup heading over to the US.

LRZ never ran in traffic as a rugby player so running back would have been a baptism of fire in an explosive game. Good luck as a wide receiver!

Realistically his chance of making it is extraordinarily slim, he’s 12 years behind the learning curve. I wish him all the best, but probably he sits on the practice squad for a few years like Christian Wade and then comes back to France.

@tonyalways7174 3 ай бұрын

Good luck to him but I think he’ll need some extraordinary luck to actually make it. I’m not sure he has anything particularly unique in his arsenal that will kick an experienced player off a squad. My fingers are crossed for him.

Louis, you are doing great. Im not far from Patrick's home town in texas. I've been following you since I seen the possibility of you being drafted to Kansas City Chiefs. I think they didn't let you use your abilities the way you were accustomed to. I think the NFL coaches are suppressing your abilities by trying to conform you into the NFL traditional style.

@Waywind420 12 күн бұрын

Union players should do a season of college football first, then go to a UFL team for 1-2 seasons before aiming to make the NFL rosters. No doubt LRZ has the athleticism for the sport, but it takes time to get the skills, tactics and playing combinations with others down. It's a little too ambitious to expect to walk right in and beat out guys who a) come from a huge talent pool and b) have played this game for 15 years.

What I hate is how nfl fans think that rugby players are inferior and can’t make it in the nfl. It’s just opportunities that more players need for the nfl and also the nfl is biased choosing Americans who played in colleges

@GrantKanaar 3 ай бұрын

I think Kansas City Chiefs messed up by selecting him as running back. He was never suited to playing running back and he was judged by those 3 pre season games where he hardly got any opportunities at all in a position he was never suited to in the 1st place.

@Badlighter 3 ай бұрын

Good luck Louis. However, rugby union is the greatest contact team sport. Other sports, like NFL and soccer/football, are just hyped and marketed better. Show a “neutral” fan any of the 2023 RWC quarters/ semis or final, and it’s second to none in terms of sporting theatre.

@julienporisse9902 3 ай бұрын

LRZ has the athleticism, the speed and good size to make it as a WR. I see him more as a Kick Off and Kick Off returner on Special teams to begin with. I don’t understand why he’s not playing returner right now … because he has excellent vision as goes space, and using it to get past the defenses. I hope he gets activated soon, because there’s no real reason to waste his talent and Jacksonville needs talent FAST… time for the head coach to activate LRZ

Can we stop talking about LRZ. He’s left rugby, and as a result he’s even more talked about in rugby than he ever was. If he doesn’t want to be a rugby player, then rugby needs to stop talking about. Let’s actually focus on our own sport.

The Dallas Cowboys are worth 10.5 Bn. They make 11.7 million a home game on just ticket sales. Owen Farrell make 1 M while special team players no one can name avg. 2.7 M. LR-Z makes doubles his rugby salary on the F’ing practice squad.

American football is a blown out pompous display of 6-seconds of play followed by minutes of literal standing around totaling about 8-minutes of play for the entire game, and the league is occupied by the most abhorrent professional athletes in the world. So yea, it’s a great sport filled with great people…(yawn, what a joke)

He hasn't made it 😂. No Welsh lad grows up wanting to play NFL. Im not being Negative but the people around him have blown smoke up his arse. Never won anything in rugby union. Never Slammed it. Never won anything at club level. Never a test Lion. If he won all that and achieved big things in Union then yeah by all means crack on. Anyone advising him would be like go and play for Toulouse, Bordeaux, La Rochelle. Earn big money. Play a sport your good at. Keep your head down win things at club levell and concentrate on being a good Welsh player that's consistent. Then think towards the Lions in Oz. Nearly as bad as Waboso .
