Past, present and future Leicester Tigers were in International action over the weekend.

Kicking off with the British & Irish Lions, the invitational side played in Dublin for the first time ever where they battled Argentina.

However, it was the South American side who emerged victorious by 28 -24, their first ever victory against the Lions, at the ninth time of asking.

Former Leicester captain Julián Montoya played 80 minutes in the victory, captaining Los Pumas to the historic win, while he was joined in the starting XV by former Tigers Pablo Matera.

Another past Leicester resident, Matías Moroni, was amongst the replacements as was future Tiger Joaquin Moro who came off the bench to help get Argentina over the line.

Matera, Montoya and Moroni now have the distinction of becoming the first Pumas in history to hold victories over every Tier 1 nation in international rugby. 

Rested after having played 80 minutes in the Gallagher Premiership final the week before, Ollie Chessum watched on amongst the rest of the wider Lions squad.

In the weekend's other big international clash, Joe Heyes started at prop for an England XV that narrowly lost out to a France XV at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham.

The front rower played for a full hour at tighthead, almost scoring a memorable try from 40 metres out when he ran a sharp support line onto a Guy Pepper offload. 

However, it was the visitors who claimed a narrow 24 - 26 win with a last minute score.
