Ben Youngs was presented with a gold cap and watch by his England team-mates after celebrating his entry into the ranks of Test centurions by scoring two tries in a crucial 34-5 bonus-point victory over Italy.
Shortly after becoming only the second Englishman to win 100 caps after Jason Leonard, Youngs was honoured by his team-mates in the changing room at the Stadio Olimpico.
The Leicester scrum-half scored in each half but it was his brilliantly-taken second 56 seconds after half-time that propelled Eddie Jones' men out of sight, ensuring they had done everything possible to lift the 2020 Six Nations title.
