As Ioan Lloyd departed just half an hour into Bristol's convincing Champions Cup win over the Scarlets, the camera naturally cut to Wales coach Wayne Pivac.
Pivac, during the many times he's watched on above the Parc y Scarlets pitch, has likely rarely offered much applause to a visiting player.
But in a watching brief rather than a coaching one, the former Scarlets coach could certainly appreciate what 20-year-old Lloyd had managed to do in his brief half-hour spell.
Before being forced off with an ankle knock, the first 30 minutes had been typical Lloyd.
The Ysgol Glantaf product showed the usual razzle-dazzle and scintillating footwork that had marked him out as a star of the future for some time. No wonder Pivac was clapping up in the stands.
That Lloyd is blessed with gamebreaking talent is not up for debate. Instead, the talk naturally revolves around where that talent is best served.
During his time with Bristol, he's started in every position in the backline other than 9 and 13. A run at inside centre on Saturday night was the latest switch, having been playing on the wing in recent weeks.
As much as some questioned whether he should have been in Wales' Six Nations squad, that moving around probably hasn't helped his cause.
During his commentary for BT Sport, former Wales captain Sam Warburton commented on Lloyd's versatility and at what point the blessing becomes a curse.
"James Hook was a victim of this," said Warburton. "He was too versatile, skilful and talented for his own good.
"You'd like to think that sooner or later, he'll start to focus on a position.
"At the top level, you have to specialise. You can't keep bouncing around."
His club coach, Pat Lam, is aware of such chatter. In his mind, Lloyd's path is pretty clear.
"Everyone's worried that he's got to find a position," he said post-match.
"He's 20-years-old. It's about building him as a rugby player so when he gets into finding the position he wants to play, he'll be better for it.
"He's a project. I played him out of school on the wing. He's young and there's a lot of expectation.
"He came into the Wales team possibly too early but the good thing to come from that is that me and Wayne have stayed in good contact as a project with how we work him.
"But being able to play wing because of his skills, play full-back, understand at this level. We take him out of that hot-seat at 10 and he can learn from Callum."
That was clear to see with how Lloyd went in the 12 jersey on Saturday night.
There were obvious moments of quality, such as the work for Bristol's opening two tries, but throughout the first 30 minutes, it was noticeable how the Premiership side were trying to use Lloyd as a second-playmaker.
It wasn't perfect, and the plan is still clearly a work-in-progress.
For Lam, it's simply about rounding Lloyd out as a rugby player before pigeon-holing him as a playmaker.
Lam believes that his future lies in that 10-12 playmaker mould, despite the obvious threat he can pose on the wing. It will, however, take time.
"Ten is a pressure position," he added. "It's taken a while with Callum Sheedy.
"When I arrived, Callum was third or fourth choice and we've grown him into the role. The challenge is to grow Ioan into the role.
"The way we play the game, the guys around the 10 are very influential. It's a lot of pressure because you're running some key plays.
"It's part of his project and this is what I've spoken to Wayne about. He's pleased about that.
"How many times have young people been thrown into 10, they've struggled, been spit out and taken a while to come back? This is all about making sure he's ready.
"Wales are blessed with 10s at the minute. They've got Dan Biggar, Callum, Rhys Patchell, Rhys Priestland. All of these guys who are there for the next three or four years.
"So this is a great time to make sure we build Ioan properly so he's not only better for the Bears, but also Wales."
As mentioned, there were eye-catching moments in attack. His step for Semi Radradra's opener was stunning. Reacting quickest to Harry Randall's tap penalty, he drifted across Rhys Patchell before stepping through past Scott Williams, with the Scarlets centre remaining square to deal with the potential threat of Radradra.
It all happened in a matter of milliseconds - a testament to Lloyd's frightening footwork.
For his own try, it was simply about staying alive in support. Even in the build-up, when the ball seemingly kept avoiding Lloyd, he remained ready and was rewarded with the try-scoring pass to canter over.
In truth though, Pivac knows all about that. That's why he capped him at just 19 in 2020.
It's on the other side of the ball where the Wales coach wanted improvements. Lam believes he'll be pleased with what he saw.
"One of the areas that he's really improved is defence. That's what Wayne asked for when he came back. Omar Mouneimne has done a great job on his tackle technique."
That was evident with one big hit on Scarlets second-row Sam Lousi - reading the pass from Jonathan Davies just right before driving the lock back with a textbook tackle.
"If you look closely at some of the games he's played, he gone up against big players and put in good hits. When I saw him against (Ngani) Laumape last week, I thought 'right, he's ready to come into 12 now'.
"We've been playing him there in attack, but keeping him out in defence. He did a great job."
It wasn't just his technique, but his reading of the game in defence.
In the build-up to Ryan Elias' try, Lloyd shut down a smartly-worked blindside move from the Scarlets - identifying the danger and tracking across to bring down Liam Williams as the Wales full-back was looking to step infield towards the try-line.
By the time Williams steps inside one tackle, Lloyd has gone from defending the 12 channel on the openside to having his feet set for the tackle.
With a player like Lloyd, it's always the spectacular moments that will catch the eye.
At least, with Lam's 'project, as he calls it, there should be real substance beyond the style when the time comes to move into the spotlight.
