Ben Youngs reaches 100 - England's most-capped XV

We've put together a side of the players with the most caps, which includes Ben Youngs, who'll win his 100th cap for his country against Italy tomorrow.

Fullback | Mike Brown - 72 caps: He was part of the England sides that beat Australia 3-0 in the 2016 summer tour as well as the victorious 2016 and 2017 RBS Six Nations campaigns. The fullback also represented his country at the 2015 Rugby World Cup, scoring twice in the opening match against Fiji. 

Winger | Ben Cohen - 57: Cohen came to prominence in the successful Northampton side that lifted the Heineken Cup in 2000. A big, quick wing, his try-scoring ability brought him to the attention of England boss Clive Woodward, who made him a key part of his side.

Centre | Mike Tindall - 75: Arguably one of England's most consistent performers of his era, Mike Tindall was a key member of the side that captured the Rugby World Cup crown in 2003. But his career, which was at times a stop-start affair because of injury, will unfairly be best remembered for his part in a wretched campaign at the 2011 Rugby World Cup where his behaviour in a Queenstown bar threatened to completely overshadow anything on the field.

Centre | Owen Farrell - 78: Full-blooded, ferocious, fearsome and now the front-runner – Owen Farrell’s rise to the captaincy of England has been a long time coming. A leader of men and a goalkicker of rare nerve – Farrell is the key cog for club and country.

Winger | Rory Underwood - 85:  He was a lightning-quick and prolific winger for England between 1984 and 1996, during which time he amassed 85 caps for England and six for the British and Irish Lions.

Fly-half | Jonny Wilkinson - 91:  He will forever be remembered as the man who kicked England to Rugby World Cup glory in Australia in 2003 - slotting a last-gasp drop goal in extra-time to edge out the hosts in a thrilling tournament finale. Regularly a left-footer, the talented fly-half slotted that memorable kick with his right foot to cement his place in English sporting history. 

Scrum-half | Ben Youngs - 100: Youngs went on to break Matt Dawson’s record for England Test starts at scrum-half in the opening match of the 2018 NatWest 6 Nations against Italy in Rome. He's then played a key role in England's 2019 Rugby World Cup campaign

Prop | Jason Leonard - 114: He was the youngest man ever to pack down in England's front row when he made his debut aged 22 against Argentina in 1990. Fourteen years later he retired as the only English player to rack up a century of Test of caps, and was for a time the world's most capped player.

Hooker | Dylan Hartley - 97: He is regarded as one of the finest hookers England has produced, and for good reason. The hooker racked up almost a century of caps, winning three Six Nations titles including the Grand Slam in 2016.

Prop | Dan Cole - 95: A quiet, determined presence, Dan Cole rose to prominence with England after a tough start in the game at Leicester Tigers. Having battled with legendary Italy prop Martin Castrogiovanni for game-time at Welford Road, the tighthead emerged in credit for the experience. His cap tally shows how consistent he's been in the years since.

Lock | Martin Johnson - 84: A giant of the game in more ways than one, Johnson is widely regarded as one of the greatest locks to have ever played the game. As a player, he famously led England to glory at the 2003 Rugby World Cup and also captained the British & Irish Lions in 1997 and 2001.

Lock | Courtney Lawes - 85: Lawes impressed so much with Saints and England that he was named on the 2017 British & Irish Lions tour of New Zealand, winning six caps on the trip and remaining undefeated in the two Tests he played against the All Blacks. One of England's most consistent performers.

Flanker | Joe Worsley - 78: Worsley, who played over 300 times for Wasps, won many England caps due to his versatility and received an MBE after their 2003 World Cup win. He retired at the age of 34 in 2011 due to a neck injury.

Flanker | James Haskell - 77: The 34-year-old, who played in the past two World Cups, retired prior to the 2019 showpiece after struggling with ankle and toe problems with Northampton last season. He won three Six Nations titles with England and was part of the team that won the Grand Slam in 2016 before starring in the side that whitewashed Australia on tour that summer.

Number 8 | Lawrence Dallaglio - 85: He became one of the most decorated and successful English players of all time. Emerging as a raw talent in the back row during England's victory at the 1993 Sevens World Cup at Murrayfield, Dallaglio went on to cement his place as a hero of English rugby.
