LONDON (Reuters) - England hooker Tom Youngs will not take part in next month's tour of New Zealand because he is staying at home to care for his ill wife, the RFU said on Wednesday.

Youngs lost his starting place in the England team to Dylan Hartley during this year's Six Nations but played in every game off the bench.
