Ben Youngs says all eyes are on the Heineken Cup clash with Benetton Treviso this Sunday (3pm) after England brought the autumn internationals to a stunning end with victory over New Zealand.

Ben, his older brother Tom, Geoff Parling, Dan Cole and Manu Tuilagi all played their part in England's 38-21 victory at Twickenham on Saturday and have now returned to training at Oval Park ahead of Leicester Tigers’ crucial Heineken Cup fixture with Treviso.

Tigers go into the back-to-back fixtures third in Pool 2 behind European heavyweights Toulouse, the four-time Heineken Cup champions, and Welsh giants Ospreys, the defending Pro 12 champions.

And Ben says that Tigers’ returning England internationals are all focused on their return to club colours on Sunday.

“We are straight back into the Heineken Cup and we know every point matters,” he said. “We want to get out of our pool.

“You are straight back into training, you are straight back into Cockers making sure you’re training hard, which is great and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

“For all of us we are back in the club environment now and all eyes are on this weekend against Treviso.

“It’s a great challenge. This weekend we are playing in front of the Tigers faithful. It’s always nice coming back to Leicester. We love playing here.”

Watch our England internationals run back out at Welford Road this Sunday (3pm) against Treviso in the Heineken Cup. Match tickets are available now on 0844 856 1880, online and from the Tigers ticket office.
