Youngs, who is England men’s all-time record appearance holder, spent much of his Test career battling Care for the England No.9 jersey.
Having now retired, he believes the Harlequins scrum-half deserves a chance against Ireland to bring up his century.
“Given it’s his 100th cap, at Twickenham, you’d think that the occasion would bring out the best in Danny Care,” said Youngs.
“If he gets the nod, I think that would be very fitting. Danny absolutely deserves it. He should be incredibly proud of what he’s done and how well he has represented England for over a decade. To get 100 caps is no mean feat, only a select few players have achieved that.”
