Phillip Hughes was honoured with a moment's applause at the international rugby union match between England and Australia at Twickenham on Saturday while Australian footballers also joined in the tributes to the cricketer.
Hughes, 25, died on Thursday after being hit by a bouncer while batting for South Australia against New South Wales in a domestic Sheffield Shield match at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Tuesday.
As well as the mass round of applause from a capacity crowd at the kick-off, a picture of Hughes was displayed on the giant screens at Twickenham.
The Australia team wore black armbands in memory of Hughes.
Two bats and a toy Wallaby were also on display in front of the Australia bench.
One of the bats bore the words 'RIP PH 63 no' in a reference to Hughes' score at the time of his fatal accident.
A 'put out your bats' social media campaign to honour Hughes by putting bats on display has sparked a huge global response.
Australia captain Michael Hooper, speaking after England's 26-17 win, said the Wallabies had been touched by the outpouring of grief for Hughes and the Twickenham tribute.
"It was obviously a very sombre mood throughout the week when we found out about that," Hooper said.
"But through being involved in social media but seeing how many tributes were flowing in for Phillip Hughes and his family and the Australian cricket team, to see a world away how much respect the guy has got and how many people have cared about it, is fantastic.
"It was a different experience to be a part of and a special one," he added.
Meanwhile, Australia football captain Mile Jedinak also paid an emotional tribute to Hughes and then scored the goal that gave Crystal Palace a 1-1 draw at Swansea in the English Premier League.
Palace midfielder Jedinak laid a bat on the field before kick-off at the Liberty Stadium in honour of the cricketer.
Jedinak followed his mark of respect to Hughes by delivering a dynamic display capped by the first half equaliser that cancelled out Wilfried Bony's opener for the hosts.
Australian international goalkeeper Adam Federici also joined in the tributes by laying a bat behind his goal in Reading's 2-1 away win at Norwich in the second-tier Championship.
After the first half, Federici picked up his bat and took it to the other end at Carrow Road for the second period.
