Wales head coach left ‘buzzing’ and England star stood down after worrying incident

Bristol Bears director of rugby Pat Lam revealed that Wales head coach Steve Tandy is thrilled with Louis Rees-Zammit's form, while centre Benhard Janse van Rensburg has been stood down following a head injury. Janse van Rensburg was knocked unconscious after colliding with Henry Pollock's knee during Bristol's win against Northampton Saints, leading to a ten-minute stoppage.

Janse van Rensburg will miss upcoming fixtures against Saracens and the Stormers under head injury assessment protocols, with an expected return against Exeter Chiefs on October 24. Meanwhile, Rees-Zammit leads the Premiership with four tries this season, and 21-year-old Nel Metcalfe is preparing for her Wales return following knee injuries.
