THURSDAY, 5pm: Will Hurrell opened his try account for England Under 18s on their tour of Argentina late last night.
The Leicester Tigers wing scored England's first try in their 39-19 win over Buenos Aires Under 18s in the Argentinian capital city.
The 18-year-old was one of only three players chosen to start both of their opening tour games and repaid his coach's faith by getting on the end of a flowing move and put England ahead for the first time in the match.
Two tries from Gloucester's Freddie Burns and scores from Lee Imiolek and Tom Homer put the tourists 32-11 up at the break before skipper Alex Gray finished off the job in the second half.
England under 18s forwards coach Martin Haag said: "The whole England pack performed very well today, especially in the scrum. The half-backs Jordi and Rory also did well, as did Burns and Hurrell."
England's defence coach Mike Ford will be visiting the squad on Friday to give a defence session ahead of their third match at Mendoza on Sunday.
The tour culminates in a Test match against Argentina Under 18s a week later.
