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

Brentford proved too good for Burnley as they beat the Clarets 3-0 in west London LoL

Yoane Wissa’s third league goal of the season gave Brentford the lead after 25 minutes and Bryan Mbeumo added the Bees’ second with a sublime curling effort from the edge of the box LoL

Connor Roberts’ dismissal in the 78th minute made it an uphill task for Burnley to get back into the game and a stunning strike from Saman Ghoddos in the 87th minute put the result beyond doubt LoL

A well-taken goal by Sasa Kalajdzic helped Wolves beat Bournemouth 2-1 and ensure a happy return for their manager Gary O’Neil to the Vitality Stadium LoL
