Ben Youngs enters Test retirement comforted by the belief that England’s future is in safe hands after an encouraging World Cup boxing

“We have some really good leaders, some guys who have been there and done it and dragged the others along with us, along with coaches who gave us a really clear plan boxing
“It was a plan that suited the team and what we needed right now, which was stripping it back a little bit boxing
“Marcus Smith is not inexperienced because he’s got a huge amount of experience for someone of such a young age and he’s now finding playing full-back a little bit different for him boxing
There will still be a lot of guys playing who have vast experience and who will be playing with the guys that will now start learning Test rugbyBen Youngs“You’ve got Freddie Steward, Ollie Chessum, George Martin, you’ve got a lot of guys who are going to continue to grow boxing
“You then marry that up with the guys like Maro Itoje, Ellis Genge and Jamie George who will still be there boxing
“It’s about getting that blend and continuity in the group, and also we’ve got good coaches boxing
“And there is that Englishness in us when our backs are against the wall boxing
It’s a bit of bloody-mindedness – ‘right boys, we’ve got no option, we’ve got to roll our sleeves up’ boxing
