Lam: Get the ball to Zammit... then watch him slam it

PAT LAM has tied Louis Rees-Zammit to a longterm deal - and then ordered his Bristol side to make the most of their sharpest shooter.

Rees-Zammit lines up at fullback tonight as Bears take on bogey team Sale on the back of committing his future to the West Country outfit.

The 24-year-old was on a one-year contract after coming back in the summer, having tried to crack America's NFL, and was linked with a move to rebel league R360, but that tournament is on the back burner.

Rees-Zammit has scored three tries in his last two Prem outings, the highlight being a stunning kick-and-chase touchdown in the 40-14 demolition of Harlequins at Twickenham on December 20.

And Bears boss Lam has told his squad that if they feed the Welshman enough ammunition he will hit the bullseye.
