Throughout the team there were some really positive performances, said Varndell who scored two of Englands four tries in a 31-13 victory over Ireland A.
We had only been together for a few days and it takes time for a team to click together so it was good to get the win. Jordan Crane led really well from the front and, considering were such a young team, I think our average age is 23, I think we showed that hopefully the future is looking good for English rugby. Hopefully there are a few players who will be pushing for a place in the senior squad.
The Saxons took the game beyond their visitors when Varndell touched down twice in the second half. It was a thrilling achievement for the Tigers winger who was joined in the Saxons side by club colleagues Crane and Ollie Smith.
I love playing at Welford Road, the support was great, he said. It is my job to score tries. I had a couple of opportunities in the first half and I was disappointed not to finish them but I was happy with the two in the second half after some great work by the team.
