Fellow Leicester youngster and Tigers Academy graduate Freddie Steward helped put the side in an attacking position after chasing down a Kini Murimurivalu up-and-under. Two breakdowns later, the scrum-half had Harlequins defenders searching for answers with a dummy and step off the back of a ruck from just outside the hosts 22m line and Van Poortvliet raced around the final line of defence to cross in the corner.
George Martin, another former Academy team-mate of Van Poortvliet and Steward's, ticked the milestone off his bucket list later in the game when he received a free run to the line after Jaco Taute pounced on a charged down clearing kick from Harlequins before offloading to Martin on his hip just inches out from the try-line.
Cyle Brink was the only other try-scorer in the defeat for Leicester, crossing early in the match for the first of the fixture. You can watch the Match Highlights HERE and vote for Van Poortvliet HERE.
