Youngs to miss final Test

Youngs to miss final Test

18 Jun 2012

England scrumhalf Ben Youngs has sustained a shoulder injury and will not be available for the third Test against South Africa.

Youngs scored two tries in England’s defeat at Ellis Park, but picked up a shoulder injury. Coach Stuart Lancaster has responded by calling Harlequins No 9 Karl Dickson into the greater squad. He may be rushed into the match 22 for the game against the Northern Barbarians, which takes place on Tuesday.

Youngs’ injury should see Danny Care or Lee Dickson starting against the Springboks in this Saturday’s Test in Port Elizabeth.

    Big loss, had a blinder on Saturday along with Flood

    I think this Bok side is going to become one of the greatest under Heyneke, some of the best tries on Sat Ive seen from a Bok team in a long time
