Former England halfback Ben Youngs admitted he’s eating humble pie after the Wallabies used his podcast potshots as fuel to win at Twickenham.
Wallabies star Len Ikitau publicly called on ex-England halfback Ben Youngs to “say less” after Australian players used his podcast potshots as fuel for their thrilling win at Twickenham.
Youngs became a primary source of motivation for the Wallabies last week after being highly dismissive on his podcast when looking at the England-Australia game at Twickenham. Youngs, who holds the record for most England caps , said: “Australia, don’t waste my time.”, after their record loss to Argentina, where he said Australian rugby was “proper dark” and suggested the Lions would trash the Wallabies by so much next year, they should tour South Africa instead.
“I commend Australia, genuinely. When I made those comments trying to stoke the fire, it was off the back of the Argentinian result. But it just shows what great coaching can do, they’ve turned it around.“What’s scary is I saw Samu Kerevi and Will Skelton after the game and they’re two of the best players in the world, and they weren’t even playing.”Young’s punditry is more banter than bitter, but he acknowledged he may not be a popular person in England camp.
