Louis Rees-Zammit has boosted Wales ahead of England's Six Nations visit to Cardiff next Saturday with a try-scoring return for Gloucester.
Rees-Zammit, 21, weaved his magic as he helped his club defeat Harlequins 28-26 at Kingsholm.
It was the Wales wing's first appearance since suffering an ankle injury eight weeks ago.
He featured for more than 30 minutes in two spells off the replacements' bench, emphatically proving his fitness.
Rees-Zammit suffered his ankle problem against Leicester on 24 December, 2022 and missed Wales' opening Six Nations defeats by Ireland and Scotland.
Wales struggled in attack in those games and Rees-Zammit's threat out wide would be welcomed by national coach Warren Gatland.
Rio Dyer, Josh Adams and Liam Williams started as Wales' back three in the games in Cardiff and Edinburgh.
Alex Cuthbert has come off the bench while Leigh Halfpenny was ruled out late ahead of Wales' opening defeat by Ireland in Cardiff.
