Louis Rees-Zammit<\/a> scored a sensational solo try from deep inside his own half to fire Bristol Bears to a 42-24 victory over Leicester Tigers at Ashton Gate.<\/p>\n This was the 24-year-old’s first Gallagher Prem game since returning to rugby union after an 18-month stint trying his hand at American football and provided a reminder of just how deadly a finisher he is. The Wales wing had a quiet game up to this point, apart from a couple of half breaks.<\/p>\n But in the 80th minute he received the ball out on the wing deep inside his own half and proceeded to beat his opposite number Ollie Hassell-Collins on the outside to put the icing on the cake for Bristol.<\/p>\n “Wheels!” exclaimed former England international and TNT Sports pundit Austin Healey.

As soon as he got the ball – try.”<\/p>\n Former Wales and Lions captain Sam Warburton, who was also on commentary duty for TNT Sport, was equally as impressed.<\/p>\n “I think some people’s concerns might have been how does Rees-Zammit fared beyond 60 minutes because he hasn’t played a game which needs repeated efforts,” he said.
