Louis Rees-Zammit - 'I wear Cristiano Ronaldo's boxer shorts'

On celebrating his try against Portugal with a Cristiano Ronaldo ‘SiUU' jump:

“I saw there was no-one in backfield and I put a grubber through and thankfully I got the bounce. 

"Ronaldo is my favourite player. I wear his boxers and I dress like him. And I thought, 'why not do his celebration as well'?”

On if the move was pre-planned:

"A few of my mates back home wanted me to do it. They’re massive football fans and obviously we don’t play Portugal very often. So I said if I scored I’d do it for them." 

On the victory:

“We made a few errors in the first 20 minutes and they hit a couple of 50-22s that weren’t great from our point of view. But ultimately we got the five points.

“But that’s 10 points and absolutely buzzing about that. It wasn’t our greatest game again, but we know we’ve got a lot to learn and going up against Australia we’ve got to step up a gear again.”

On confidence levels ahead of game against Australia:

“High. Two wins. And when you don’t get perfect wins there’s always a lot to improve on. That’s great. We need that progress.

“We have seven days until the next game, so we’ll have a good training week and hopefully be ready for Australia.”
