Reports over the weekend suggest England head coach Eddie Jones is in hot pursuit of Gloucester winger Louis Rees-Zammit, the Welsh wing star that’s breaking Premiership try-scoring records.
The Welsh youngster could qualify to play for England as he spent two years at Hartpury College in England. If he were to spend one more year in England with Gloucester then he would qualify under World Rugby’s eligibility rules.
The 19-year-old has made it very clear that he doesn’t want to play for England, but it is clear to see why Eddie Jones is so keen to poach him for England.
The youngster has scored 8 tries in all competitions so far this season for Gloucester and every pundit in rugby is raving about him.
OUT TOMORROW!

The Rugby Paper broke the story last week and since then there has been some serious anger from Welsh fans in Britain at the prospect of them losing another top talent.
George North famously grew up in England before choosing to play for Wales, and they will be hoping that this is the case again for the youngster.
The highlight reel dropped on the youngster last week and you can see why they are so keen to make him an England player.
Have you seen a more impressive highlight reel from half a season?!
