Just heard that Tom Youngs wife has been diagnosed with terminal cancer so his brother Ben has withdrawn from the lions to spend time with his family.
Terrible news for all the family.

Awful. 100% the right call by BY.
Thoughts are with Tom, his wife and family. He's broadly the same age as me and I can't imagine being told my wife was going to die.

The right thing to do in these absolutely awful circumstances. Best wishes to the whole family, especially Tom who must be going through agonies.
