The incident occurred around 15 minutes into the match, with England missing an array of stars currently playing with the British & Irish Lions.
Not just for it being the home side’s first outing since losing to Ireland in the Six Nations, the afternoon ended up being pretty memorable for a moment that is already going viral on the internet.
Failing to contain the Worcester Warriors powerhouse on a sprint down the wing, Mikey Teo grabbed at Lawrence’s shorts to briefly reveal his behind to a laughing crowd of 10,000 punters.
Seeing the funny side of things, Lawrence got up off the ground also chuckling after completing his try, and tapped Teo on the hand in a show of respect for his efforts in the affair that finished 43-27.
On social media, onlookers were just as amused as those inside the iconic rugby ground, and left comments on posts containing the clips and captions such as: “Cheeky try from Ollie Lawrence… before the watershed too.”
“He’ll be over the moon with that try,” commented one punter.
“What a cracking try,” said another.
“Bum deal for the defender,” it was also quipped.
More analytical, a rugby fan said: “That was hysterical, and demonstrates the power in his legs – even the barmaid laughed out loud. Once he learns to defend, he’ll be OK.”
