Ben Youngs has paid an emotional tribute to his brother Tom after the latter announced his immediate retirement from rugby to care for his sick wife.
The 28-cap former England hooker and 2013 British and Irish Lion announced on Wednesday that he was hanging up his boots with immediate effect and insisted he had "no regrets".
The 35-year-old took indefinite leave from Leicester Tigers in October to care for his wife, Tiff, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma - a form of blood cancer - in 2014 and three years later was told her illness was terminal. In 2018, she went into remission but earlier this season Tom stepped down to care for her.
