Ben Youngs, England’s most capped men’s player, will end his international career after the World Cup third-place play-off against Argentina on Friday.
The 34-year-old scrum-half will win his 127th England cap against the Pumas in his first start in the tournament.
Youngs is behind Alex Mitchell and Leicester team-mate Jack van Poortvliet in the England pecking order.
He made his Test debut against Scotland in March 2010 when current coach Steve Borthwick was captain.
Youngs has played in four World Cups, toured Australia with the British and Irish Lions in 2013 and is one of only five Englishmen to be capped 100 times.
He won four Six Nations titles, including the Grand Slam in 2016, and was a beaten finalist in the 2019 World Cup.
Youngs’ international career started in a surprising way as he had to make an appearance on the wing after Ugo Monye was injured during a Calcutta Cup draw against Scotland in March 2010.
A few months later, he marked his first Test start at scrum-half with a try in the 21-20 win over Australia in Sydney.
Youngs surpassed World Cup-winning prop Jason Leonard to become England’s most capped men’s player on his 115th appearance in the Six Nations win over Wales in February 2022.
He will finish 10 caps short of women’s World Cup-winning prop Rocky Clark’s 137-cap England record.
