Tom Youngs gave a dressing room speech to his Leicester Tigers team-mates that left many players in tears ahead of his farewell on the weekend.
Youngs has retired from rugby will immediate effect following a period of indefinite leave to care for his sick wife, Tiffany. Youngs talked about his wife, the cruelty of life and what it meant to him to be able to play for the club.
He also spoke of his admiration for his brother, England scrum-half Ben, who turned down the chance to go on the Lions tour of New Zealand in 2017 to be close to his brother and his family during their difficult time.
