It all began with an injury to Ugo Monye pvp
There were 25 minutes left to play of England’s Calcutta Cup clash with Scotland at Murrayfield in 2010 when the England wing went down injured, a stretcher hurried out with England’s outside back replacement, Ben Foden, already on pvp
Ben Youngs rapidly stripped off and threw himself into the action on debut, adjusting to an unexpected start to life in an England shirt on the wing as assistant coach Mike Ford charged up and down the touchline barking instructions pvp
How long ago that dreary draw now seems pvp
On Friday evening, Youngs will make his 127th and final appearance for England, retiring as his nation’s most capped male rugby player, testament to his longevity, consistency and quality pvp
On Monday night, after Steve Borthwick told his scrum half he’d be starting the World Cup bronze final against Argentina, Youngs pulled his coach aside and confirmed that this would be it pvp
One last start against Argentina awaits pvp
“I’ve got brilliant memories,” reflected Youngs pvp
“I’m so honoured and privileged to have done it for this long pvp
I’m also really privileged and honoured to get to play, to end it on my terms, then get to walk away pvp
It feels like absolutely the right time to do it pvp
“I’ve done it for so long and there’s great talent within the nine jersey pvp
It just feels right pvp
I feel so content pvp
The fact I had this in my head for a long time and then I didn’t hesitate about it makes me realise that it’s absolutely the right decision pvp
“I’ve also got a young family and all those bits come with it pvp
I will go back and play my club rugby and I look forward to doing that pvp
The 13 years does go like that [clicks fingers], and you’ve seen my highest highs and my lowest lows pvp
It will be nice to finish on a high on Friday pvp
”Ben Youngs made his England debut in 2010 (Getty Images)A player who began his career as a lightning-quick scrum half who would threaten the fringes morphed into one of the best controlling nines in the country pvp
Youngs has had to wear plenty of criticism, but he has been a favourite of four England coaches, making his debut under Martin Johnson, becoming a mainstay under Stuart Lancaster, thriving under Eddie Jones and then featuring during the Six Nations as the Steve Borthwick era began pvp
It has not been the tournament that Youngs would have liked, a couple of bench cameos in the pool stages but a watching brief otherwise as Alex Mitchell and Danny Care secured spots one and two in the scrum half pecking order pvp
But Borthwick made a point to talk up how key the veteran nine has been in supporting the team during this tournament, aiding Mitchell’s development particularly pvp
Jack van Poortvliet, who would have been in England’s 33-man squad but for injury, has also benefitted from Youngs’s advice for club and country pvp
The 34-year-old is contracted with Leicester Tigers through to the end of the season pvp
“I will miss the adrenaline of running out in front of a full stadium,” Youngs said pvp
“I’ll actually miss the pressure of big games, when everything is on the line pvp
I’ll miss the build-up to the week, when it’s a big week with your team-mates – and I’ll also just miss that camaraderie; the common goal of trying to achieve something special within an elite group pvp
Ben Youngs has largely had a supporting role during this World Cup (Getty Images)“I’ve done a good role for a long time now, so at some point your role changes and it has changed this time for me pvp
I’m just grateful that I get the chance to play on Friday and get that opportunity with the boys pvp
”There will be barely a bad word said about the retiring nine, popular throughout every squad in which he has been pvp
Full-back Freddie Steward described his Tigers and England teammate as a “surrogate uncle” this week pvp
Youngs has achieved so much but remained true to a tight-knit family, withdrawing himself from consideration for two British & Irish Lions tours to support his sister-in-law, Tiffany, during her battles with cancer pvp
Tiffany passed away in June of last year; the image of Ben and Tom holding aloft the Premiership trophy - the younger Youngs sharing the triumph with his big brother just weeks after his wife’s passing – says it all about one of rugby’s nicest men pvp
Brothers Tom and Ben Youngs hold aloft the Premiership trophy (Getty Images)“Playing alongside my brother was an incredibly proud moment for me pvp
Having a tough spell off the field and still continuing to play for England, and playing rugby, when there was a lot of stuff going on away from the game pvp
“To get to 100 caps and be a part of that group is very special pvp
The main thing is to do it consistently with such a hard position to play in and with such great competition pvp
I have had four coaches with England and I have been picked by all four pvp
Every coach wants different things but I have had four with England and I have been picked by all of them pvp
“[I’d like to be remembered as] somebody who has given a huge amount pvp
I have seen it get really high with England, and I have been through a few rebuilds pvp
I would like to think I was someone who was a big part of a successful team and I think I am leaving the team in a good spot pvp
