Growing up with 28 first cousins family was always going to mean a lot to Ben Youngs. As season nine of England Rugby Podcast: O2 Inside Line returns, England's most capped scrum half opens up about the importance of family in his life, in particular his brother Tom who he's played alongside from childhood, to Leicester Tigers and then representing their country together. Youngs also discusses what it was liked being diagnosed with dyslexia aged nine, growing up on a working farm in north Norfolk and how he sees his new role in Eddie Jones' squad.

You will also hear contributions from teammates Lewis Ludlam, Raffi Quirke and Mark Atkinson as well as one of Ben's best friends from his childhood, James Knight.
