Oxfordshire full-back Ben Thompson returned to the UK with a spring in his step after helping England Counties record their best ever victory.

Thompson and his teammates beat the Uruguay national team 29-9 in Montevideo to complete a successful South American tour.

Having lost 36-10 to an Argentina XV, they brushed aside Rosario 38-0 before ending with a famous victory.

Coach Paul Westgate said: "The team absolutely deserved the win and I'm proud of them."

Former Chinnor flanker David Seymour is in the England Under 21, who take on Argentina in the IRB World Championship tonight.

Defeat against France denied England a top-four place, but there is still plenty of pride to play for.
