Who is England's most-capped rugby player? Ben Youngs to overtake Jason Leonard but won't hold record

Ben Youngs is set to claim a historic record if he comes off the bench in England v Wales.

Harry Randall is Eddie Jones' preferred starting scrum-half for the Twickenham Six Nations encounter, meaning Leicester No. 9 Youngs is set to make his 115th England appearance from the replacements bench.

He will overtake World Cup-winning prop Jason Leaonard's cap record which he set during a 14-year Test career, and is to be applauded. Youngs will no doubt be guaranteed a rapturous reception at a capacity 82,000 crowd, 12 years on from his debut.

Youngs has played under three different England head coaches - Martin Johnson, Stuart Lancaster and Eddie Jones - and only Australian great George Gregan has won more caps for his country as a scrum-half.

But 32-year-old Youngs won't become England's most-capped rugby international.

Reporting of the impending record-break has shifted in recent days to mark the fact Youngs will become England's most-capped men's player.

That's because World Cup winner Rochelle 'Rocky' Clark - the most-capped women's rugby player in history - holds the overall England record, having played 137 Tests before retiring in 2018.

The front-rower, now 40, made her international debut in 2003 and was awarded an MBE for services to rugby after being involved in the 2014 World Cup triumph.

It can often be the case that women's sporting achievements are minimised or made to be invisible when men's achievements are reported as the default records.

Behind Clark, England Women No. 8 and 2016 World Rugby player of the year Sarah Hunter is on 130 caps and set to increase that number during the upcoming Women's Six Nations.
