Terrible news for Tom.

For those people berating Toms throwing and performances recently, this puts your moaning way in to perspective!!

My thoughts also go out to the family.

Such terrible news for Tom and his whole family - and well done Ben for taking such a supportive decision.

I'm sure they'll have the love, understanding and prayers of the whole Tigers' family - indeed, the whole rugby family.

Huge respect to Ben, rugby is irrelevant in these circumstances, family always comes first, keep strong team Youngs, pray everything turns out right.

How could they both have played today knowing this and this does put this years rugby into perspective? I was lucky enough to sit at a table with Tom at the POY Awards night a few years ago the year he was getting married - no words can be of comfort in these circumstances but I'm sure all our thoughts are with the whole family at this time. Ben - well done in making the right decision in very difficult times.
