BBC One - Being Louis Rees-Zammit

Unfiltered access to rugby’s new superstar, on and off the pitch.

Unfiltered access to rugby's new superstar, playing for club and country, and at home with his family.

At just 22, Louis Rees-Zammit is one of the hottest properties in rugby. Blessed with frightening pace and dazzling footwork, he is a poster boy for a rugby-obsessed nation. 

 With unfiltered access, this documentary follows the Welsh rugby star on and off the pitch as he builds towards the Rugby World Cup, his chance to shine on the biggest stage in his sport. 

Capped for Wales at just 19, he secured a lucrative contract with Gloucester, one of the top clubs in England. The winger has enjoyed a meteoric rise, called into the British and Irish Lions team when he was just 20 years old. But one injury could destroy his career, and the pressure is on when you are only as good as your last game.

The tag of being the most exciting talent of your generation brings photo shoots, advertising campaigns, clothing sponsorship deals, fast cars and over 200,000 followers on Instagram. He loves the lifestyle rugby has given him, the luxurious holidays jet-setting across the world. His life has been transformed, but the pressure is immense.

From the intense training off the field to the post-match debriefs with his family at home, this is what it is like to be Louis Rees-Zammit. Includes contributions from teammate Dan Biggar and World Cup winner and top try scorer Bryan Habana.
