Ben Youngs - Lions

[wasps]

Ben Youngs has ruled himself out of contention for the Lions.
He was one of 50+ players that we informed they were being considered for selection.


I don't know how many scrum halves were in that 50+ player pot, but it would suggest that Warren Gatland also rates Ben Youngs very highly - presumably in the top 5 scrum halves from the home nations.

Personally, I don't dislike Youngs as much as most posters on here and other forums.
However, I very much did prefer him when he used to look to snipe more often.

I suppose, as a head coach, Youngs is someone that is capable of playing to a game plan.
We may not like the game plan that Eddie pushes on him, but over the years, Youngs has shown that he can play a different game
