LOUIS Rees-Zammit is set to make his rugby comeback in Bristol Bears’ Premiership Rugby Cup fixture at Sale Sharks tomorrow.

- STEFFAN THOMAS Rugby correspondent

According to Planet Rugby, Bristol director of rugby Pat Lam has pencilled in this weekend’s Prem Rugby Cup opener as the first test for Rees-Zammit.

‘The 24-year-old was one of the most prolific finishers in world rugby prior to his 18-month stint in American football.

Lam insists Rees-Zammit has lost none of the pace which made him a world class winger and revealed he is the fastest in the Bristol squad.

It comes a week after video emerged of the Welshman scoring a wonder try in training.

“Louis Rees-Zammit, man, he is quick,’ Lam told Planet Rugby.
