The 24-year-old winger has not played for Wales for over two years after switching to American football.

Rees-Zammit had spells with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Jacksonville Jaguars, although he did not play a competitive game in the NFL and returned to rugby in August when signing for Bristol.

He has not played since damaging a toe against Saracens on October 4 but Wales assistant coach Danny Wilson gave a positive fitness update ahead of their Autumn Nations Series opener in Cardiff on Sunday.
