The former Melton RFC junior trod the hallowed turf of Twickenham as his new club Bristol opened their season away to Harlequins.

Hurrell (26) was bought by the newly-promoted club after impressing for their rivals Doncaster in the Championship Play-off final in May.

And former England coach Andy Robinson selected the talented centre for his starting XV, playing the full 80 minutes of the narrow 21-19 defeat in front of 47,000 fans.
