There were hugely emotional scenes at Twickenham as ex-England star Tom Youngs lifted the Gallagher Premiership trophy aloft with his former team-mates, just over a week on from tragically losing his wife Tiffany.
In 2014, Tiffany was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma—a form of blood cancer— and fought the disease for three years before being told the illness was terminal. In 2018 however, she then heard she was in a state of remission but her cancer battle continued and last Wednesday, Leicester Tigers released a statement confirming the sad news.
But in a touching moment on Saturday after Leicester's Premiership final heroics, the club's former skipper Youngs made his way out onto the field to join his ex-team-mates as they celebrated their title victory in front of a packed house at Twickenham.
