The 19-year-old scored against Fiji after just seven seconds in the countries’ Junior World Championship clash.

Young winger Howells grabs the ball straight from the kick-off and bounds over the line, with Wales going on to win the match 48-19.

The previous record for the world’s quickest try was held by Leeds Carnegie player Lee Blackett, against Newcastle, back in 2008.
