Louis Rees-Zammit left stunned as team-mates mob him during Lions announcement
It was the day Louis Rees-Zammit became the youngest British and Irish Lion since 1959.
At just 20 years and 93 days old, the Wales winger received the news he’d dreamed off on Thursday lunchtime.
And video captured the moment he watched the squad announcement in the company of his Gloucester team-mates who mobbed him as his name was read out.
Rees-Zammit’s face said it all as the emotion of the moment could clearly be seen amid the cheers in the room.
The youngster spent the evening celebrating with family in Cardiff, and was even presented with a special Lions congratulations cake.
Following the news, he said: “I can’t even put into words how it feels. It’s been a mad year and I’m so delighted.
“It is an absolute honour. I’ve only been playing international rugby for seven or eight months and now this has happened.
“I was so nervous. I was sweating so much. My name came up and everyone started jumping on me. It was an amazing moment.”
It’s been some year for Rees-Zammit, who only made his Wales debut in the autumn before going on to be one of the stars of the Six Nations.
Lions coach Warren Gatland said: “It’s pretty exciting for him and I think it’s his try-scoring ability and his finishing [that caught the eye].
“I don’t think he’s the finished article and we’ve seen him improve during the Six Nations.
“That’s what is exciting about him as a youngster. We think that going on tour, being around the best players in Britain and Ireland, then he’s going to continue to develop and get better.
“There’s a huge amount of potential. That’s what is exciting about someone like that so we’re looking forward to having the opportunity to work with him.
“We want to see him come on in a position where there are lots of options and strength in depth.”
