11 Leicester Tigers players were in action for their countries in the Autumn Nations Series, and for England A' over the weekend. 

Leicestershire-born prop Will Hurd scored a try in his home debut for Scotland, the tighthead getting through 50 minutes in his side's victory over Portugal. 

Joe Heyes repeated Hurd's trick for England A' by scoring the opening try in Sunday's win against Australia A'. Jamie Shillcock chipped in two conversions as well later in the piece. 

Handré Pollard kicked a couple crucial goals in crunch time in what was a fantastic battle between England and the Springboks. Freddie Steward, Jack van Poortvliet, George Martin all started for England with Dan Cole coming off the bench.

Tommy Reffell and Nicky Smith came on for Wales against the Wallabies, with Julián Montoya putting in a massive shift for Argentina in what was a tight-fought slog against Ireland.
