Ben Youngs should go down as England legend despite becoming criticism lightning rod

When he arrived from the bench at Murrayfield to make his Test debut over 13 years ago as an emergency wing, Ben Youngs joined an England side that included Joe Worsley, who was born in 1977. Youngs will win his 127th cap against Argentina on Friday in the third-place play-off alongside Henry Arundell, born in 2002. Those dates starkly reinforce the phenomenal longevity of Youngs, who has announced his decision to retire from internationals at the end of his fourth World Cup.
