Ben Youngs's case for Benhard Janse van Rensburg's England call-up comes down to one thing: he's the only centre option Borthwick has who ticks both the physical and distribution boxes simultaneously. Youngs runs through the current midfield pool and finds each one incomplete — Dingwall distributes but carries physical question marks at Test level, Ojomoh is similarly unproven in terms of size and caps, Lawrence has the physicality and experience but lacks distribution. BJvR, shaped by Bristol's demanding ball-movement system, brings both. Youngs points specifically to his work off lineouts — exploiting seams as mauls threaten to form — as a particularly valuable weapon, and argues his ceiling may simply be higher than what's currently available. The piece is essentially a structured talent audit of England's midfield, using Youngs's analysis to explain a selection that has divided opinion.
