London - England scrumhalf Ben Youngs, who scored two tries in the second Test loss to South Africa on Saturday, has been ruled out of the remainder of the tour with a shoulder injury.
In a statement on Sunday, the Rugby Football Union said Youngs would be replaced by Harlequins' Karl Dickson.
South Africa clinched the three-Test series when they defeated England 36-27 at Ellis Park in Johannesburg after a stirring second-half comeback by the visitors.
“Ben has picked up a shoulder injury, which only presented itself at the end of the game. After a night's sleep he was struggling to move it and went for some imaging, which ruled him out of the tour,” England head coach Stuart Lancaster said in the RFU statement.
