Leicester Tigers wing Will Hurrell was among the try-scorers as England Under-18s continued their development tour of Argentina on Wednesday night with a 39-19 victory over Buenos Aires Under-18s.

The win was England’s second on tour after also defeating Tucuman Under-18s 40-24 on Saturday. They now face Mendoza Under-18s on Sunday before taking on Argentina in an international on Sunday, August 3.

Gloucester’s Freddie Burns claimed two tries against Buenos Aires, with Hurrell, Lee Imiolek, Tom Homer and captain Alex Gray also touching down. 

For the second game in succession England had to come from behind with Buenos Aires kicking the opening points, but an early try for Hurrell steadied the tourists. A good scrum led to the score, with Burns making a break and Christian Wade creating space before offloading to Hurrell who finished off the move.

England forwards coach Martin Haag said: “This was a tough game, but the whole pack performed very well, especially in the scrum. The half-backs also did well, as did Burns and Hurrell. Overall this was a good team performance.”

Tigers hooker Jimmy Stevens appeared as a second-half replacement, along with centre Andy Forsyth. Leicester scrum-half Sam Harrison, who started the win over Tucuman, was also named on the bench.
