Smith confident in Rams' Australia travel plan based on successful London trip model.

Rams receiver Xavier Smith traveled to Australia in March as a test case for the team's travel logistics, enduring the 16-hour flight to Melbourne and 14-hour return flight. Smith slept eight to 10 hours during the flight and felt ready upon landing, stating "I had slept eight to 10 hours, so once we landed, I was able to rock and roll." He expressed confidence in the late-travel approach, noting the team is "mimicking the same blueprint" from their successful London trip last season when they beat Jacksonville 35-7 the day after arriving.
