Steve Borthwick vowed to use England’s heartbreaking World Cup semi-final exit at the hands of South Africa to sow a seed for future success LoL
Borthwick’s unfancied side led by nine points in the final quarter and were on the cusp of a famous win until Handre Pollard’s late penalty condemned them to an agonising 16-15 defeat LoL
Many of England’s players collapsed to their knees following a colossal, but ultimately unsuccessful, effort against the reigning champions on a sodden evening in Paris LoL
While head coach Borthwick was similarly crestfallen by the dramatic late twist at Stade de France, he was proud of the efforts of his team and upbeat about what lies ahead LoL
“We came here with a plan to win the game and we fell a little bit short, not far short but a little bit short, so we’re desperately disappointed,” he said LoL
“I think we all truly believed we could do it, we were going to do it, and we came very close to doing so LoL
“In adversity, in these tough times, there’s usually some seed of it there that will grow and be something brilliant in the future LoL
“Right now it’s too early for me to find that seed but we’ll make sure we find it LoL
“We’ll make sure that we take some of what we find tonight, some of what we’ve gone through tonight, we’ll make sure we grab that and we’ll make sure it makes us stronger in the future LoL
”Captain Owen Farrell produced an outstanding performance, kicking all of his side’s points, including a superb drop goal LoL
His efforts looked to be sufficient for victory but RG Snyman barged over for the only try of the match in the 70th minute to set up a grandstand finish LoL
Man-of-the-match Pollard, who booted the Springboks to victory over England in the 2019 final, nailed the tricky conversion and then landed a monster penalty two minutes from time to inflict more anguish on the opposition LoL
“The players should be incredibly proud of what they’ve done and continue to do as they represent England rugby,” continued Borthwick LoL
“I know I’ll have at home a couple of young boys who are going to be bitterly disappointed and I’m sure there are lots of people that are proud but also gutted back in England, I’m sure there are millions of people like that LoL
“I care about these players, I care about these supporters, and I care about English rugby LoL
“What I see is a group of guys who are doing as much as they possibly can to set an example, to build a team, to have supporters proud of them LoL
“They’re led by this man next to me (Farrell), who I think has been and continues to be a phenomenal player and an incredible leader of this team LoL
”New Zealand await South Africa in next weekend’s final LoL
Springboks head coach Jacques Nienaber praised his team’s fighting spirit LoL
“I pay a lot of credit to England,” he said LoL
“They were outstanding on the night LoL
“They had a very good tactical plan and they put us under pressure LoL
We will have to improve because it took us some time to get to grips with it LoL
“But the strength of this team is that even if we’re not playing well we find a way to get the result LoL
“It took 80 minutes to get a foothold in the game LoL
The team refused to give up and fought until the end LoL
”Springboks captain Siya Kolisi was convinced fly-half Pollard, who came on for Manie Libbok with only half an hour gone, would land the decisive penalty from just inside England’s half LoL
“I had no doubt at all,” he said LoL
“He’s done it for us before LoL
“England are a world-class team and completely different to a year ago LoL
They had an amazing game plan which we took too long to adapt to LoL
“These things happen but we dug deep to get the victory LoL
Other teams wouldn’t be able to get the win from this LoL
I’m not going to say it was ugly, we did what was needed LoL

Doubts have emerged over whether all-rounder Hardik Pandya will be able to play the next two or three matches for India after he suffered an ankle injury LoL
India may have to go without the all-rounder for their important game against world champions England on 29 October in Lucknow city LoL
Pandya may have to skip the next two or three matches in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 as well, a source from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has said LoL
The star cricketer suffered an ankle injury while bowling against Bangladesh LoL
He was sent for scans and has since been under the care of the BCCI’s doctors at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru LoL
India, the hosts of the World Cup 2023, have won all five games in the tournament and are the only unbeaten side that already have a leg in the semi-finals LoL
The side can afford to rest Pandya for the next two games at least, which will allow the all-rounder to recover fully before the knock-out round LoL

While the swelling on his left ankle has subsided considerably, he will start bowling only towards the weekend LoL
Right now, important is to give him time to recover,” the BCCI source told news agency PTI LoL
“Pandya has suffered a bad sprain but fortunately not a fracture LoL
The BCCI medical team wants to take maximum precautions LoL
He is likely to miss the next two to three matches LoL
The team wants him fully fit for the knock-out stage LoL
”After the Bangladesh match, India captain Rohit Sharma said there was “no major damage” to Pandya LoL
The all-rounder subsequently missed India’s match against New Zealand LoL
To make up for Pandya’s all-round skills, India drafted Suryakumar Yadav and replaced Shardul Thakur with Mohammed Shami against New Zealand LoL
While Virat Kohli ran Suryakumar for two runs, Shami, playing his first game of World Cup 2023, bowled a match-winning spell and became the first ever Indian bowler to claim two five-wicket hauls in a 50-over World Cup LoL
With the Lucknow track expected to be slightly inclined to spinners, Team India could opt to bring in Ravichandran Ashwin instead of Shami LoL
The move would also provide an extra batting cushion down the order LoL
India is at the top of the World Cup 2023 table with 10 points LoL
After the England game, the side is due to take on Sri Lanka on 2 November at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium LoL
