Louis Rees-Zammit is the youngest Premiership player to score a hat-trick of tries
Gloucester wing Louis Rees-Zammit has given Wales an injury scare ahead of the Six Nations after limping off in the first half of Gloucester's Champions Cup defeat in Toulouse.
Head coach Johan Ackermann said the 18-year old had 'rolled his ankle'.
The teenager had celebrated his Wales call-up with a try after only three minutes before suffering the injury.
Wales' opening Six Nations match with Italy in Cardiff is under two weeks away on Saturday, 1 February.
Rees-Zammit, who was born in Cardiff, signed his first senior contract with Gloucester last week and has expressed his desire to play for Wales despite England showing interest.
