It's perhaps fitting for a player with the pace of Louis Rees-Zammit that his career to date has exploded at an astonishingly rapid rate.
All before his 21st birthday, he's made his international debut for Wales, won a Six Nations and been on a Lions tour.
This time last year, his match-winning heroics at Murrayfield not only kept Wales' title charge on track, but earned him 70,000 new followers on social media overnight.
At that point, even though he was still 20 and effectively a boy amongst men, the world seemed at the Gloucester winger's feet.

It was unthinkable at the time that his place in the side would ever be in doubt in the near future.
Yet 12 months on, it appears that's where we might be heading.
It's hard to say with any certainty as, for starters, to drop Rees-Zammit would be a bold call for Wayne Pivac to make.
After his remarkable solo try against Fiji in the autumn, a match where he largely struggled to make an impression otherwise, the Wales coach remarked: "That's what he can do. You can't coach that."
Quite simply, that knack of conjuring up something special makes him a very hard player to leave out.
But, as is perhaps natural for any player who has enjoyed such an astronomic rise, things have started to plateau on the Test stage a little.
And, to compound matters for Rees-Zammit, there's perhaps more competition for wing places than there's ever been.
Alex Cuthbert came in for his first Six Nations start in five years, and Pivac seems to like what he offers.
The one-cap Lion hasn't exactly built up the minutes on the park in recent times, but that mattered little against Scotland as the Ospreys wing went well on his 50th Test cap.
He was industrious, looking for work continuously. When Dan Biggar's long-range penalty hit the upright, Cuthbert was the first man on the scene - catching the loose ball to set up a dangerous attacking position for Wales.
From there, Finn Russell would ultimately be sent to the sin-bin and Biggar would drop the winning goal - all from the determination of Cuthbert.
After the match, former Wales captain Sam Warburton called it one of Wales' best ever carrying performances. That was largely to do with the forwards, who fronted up after a tough week, but having the strength of Cuthbert running out the back in midfield isn't a bad way to make inroads.
Wales would try the same things with Rees-Zammit, pushing the ball out of the back in midfield behind a set of forwards.
The idea is to try get Wales' most dangerous players touches on the ball, with Rees-Zammit taking the ball at second-receiver in motion and strike runners like Liam Williams and Cuthbert outside of him.
However, while Cuthbert has the physicality to barge into tackles, Rees-Zammit is relying on the space being there to burst into. With this play though, he's taking the ball far behind the gainline and never really stands a chance to evade aggressive defences.
In those moments, we've seen the young winger attempt to force offloads off the back foot.
It was a similar story in Dublin, although Rees-Zammit did have a mitigating factor of an ankle knock in the warm-up. He's seemingly over that now, but he's got his work cut out.
Defensively, he's largely stood up to most things, but the way Darcy Graham got past him for Scotland's try on Saturday wouldn't have pleased Gethin Jenkins.
You wouldn't be confident of selling shares in Rees-Zammit ahead of the trip to Twickenham, but it's more than feasible he may not start.
Josh Adams will come back into the fold after a tight calf and, with Wales' midfield options likely to grow with Willis Halaholo's return to fitness, it seems likely he'd revert back to the wing.
Cuthbert's performance against Scotland, while not rewarded with a try, could be rewarded with another start.
And you can't forget about Johnny McNicholl. While he struggled a bit with some defensive reads in Dublin, as can be the case when your inside defence is being torn apart, he does bring a playmaking option to the back-three which Wales' attack needs in some shape or form.
A year ago, Rees-Zammit not being involved in a Wales starting XV would have been unthinkable. Now, there's a possibility.
It still feels unlikely but, after two years of nothing but success, the 21-year-old might face his first real test to keep hold of the jersey.
