Louis Rees-Zammit returns to inspire Gloucester to victory over Harlequins

theguardian.com

Louis Rees-Zammit was in fine form as Gloucester climbed to third in the Gallagher Premiership by beating playoff rivals Harlequins 28-26 at Kingsholm.

The Wales wing’s first appearance since sustaining an ankle injury eight weeks ago was capped by him scoring Gloucester’s bonus-point try four minutes from time.

He featured for more than 30 minutes in two spells off the replacements’ bench, emphatically proving his fitness before Wales’ Guinness Six Nations fixture with England next week.

Quins appeared to be on the way to a first league victory since early December through tries from the replacement hooker Sam Riley, No 8 Tom Lawday and wing Cadan Murley.
