Jack van Poortvliet provided a timely reminder to England head coach Steve Borthwick as he sealed the Six Nations plans with a stunning individual try as Leicester Tigers beat struggling Harlequins.
The Tigers’ scrum-half produced a brilliant moment at the Stoop Stadium in a game the visitors dominated from start to finish, with his solo effort in the first half being the visitors’ best of five attempts.

Gabriel Hammer-Webb, Freddie Stewart, Jamie Blemire and Izaya Perese scored for the rest of the side as the visitors beat Quinn’s side on extra points to move fourth in the Premier League table.
Chandler Cunningham-South ensured the home side did not suffer a second lockdown of the season but his efforts were not enough to avoid a fifth straight Premier League defeat for Jason Gilmore’s struggling side.
