Welsh star fired up after Wales snub and Louis Rees-Zammit ends debate in style

Louis Rees-Zammit scored two tries on the wing to lead Bristol Bears to a 34-24 bonus-point victory over Sale Sharks on the Premiership's opening weekend. Harry Randall also scored twice, alongside a try from Tomas Gwilliam, as Pat Lam's squad overcame Sale tries from Luke Cowan-Dickie and Tom O'Flaherty.

Meanwhile, Leicester back-rower Olly Cracknell expressed disappointment over missing Wales' summer tour to Argentina and South Africa under Steve Tandy. The five-cap forward noted that being left out of the traveling squad has provided extra motivation to regain his best form this season.
