The Prize

Match issued Test jersey, signed and worn by Louis Rees-Zammit for the official Lions 2021 squad headshots on player meeting day - the first time players meet ahead of the Tour and wear the official kit for the very first time.

In 2019 Louis Rees-Zammit became Gloucester’s youngest player in Premiership history and his rapid rise has led to selection for the Lions Tour to South Africa two years later. The 20-year-old flyer has been thrown in at the deep end for club and country and thrived on every occasion ahead of a Tour to take on the world champions. By the end of 2019, aged just 18, he had already notched his first try as a professional, as well as a maiden hat-trick in a breakthrough campaign. A first international cap followed in October 2020 away to France, while he added a first try at Test level against Georgia in the Autumn Nations Cup.

Rees-Zammit’s first involvement in the Guinness Six Nations came in 2021 and he made an immediate impression, scoring an acrobatic try against Ireland in an opening victory. He followed it up with two more against Scotland, the second a remarkable solo effort where he demonstrated his exceptional pace in what proved to be the match-winning score. Another long-distance score, this time an interception, came against Italy, and while he was narrowly denied a try in the final game in Paris, with Wales just missing out on the Grand Slam, Rees-Zammit still ended his first Championship campaign with a title.

Capable of playing on the wing or at full-back, he will now get his chance in the red of the Lions to continue his remarkable rise.
