Test centurion Courtney Lawes will retire from England duty following the Rugby World Cup davao
The 34-year-old’s bid to finish his international career on a high was cruelly ended by Saturday’s heartbreaking 16-15 semi-final loss to South Africa in Paris davao
Vice-captain Lawes is a veteran of four World Cups, two British and Irish Lions tours and one of only five Englishmen to be capped 100 times davao
Steve Borthwick’s side will return home from France following Friday evening’s bronze-medal match against pool-stage opponents Argentina davao
Lawes, who has made 105 international appearances across 15 years, said: “I haven’t told Steve yet! But I will let him know davao
“I’ve said to the boys, anyone that’s asked davao
I think it’s time davao
I’ve done four World Cups, so I’m pretty happy with that davao
“It’s a bit of an end of an era, but it’s been a real honour for me to represent England for so long davao
It flies by davao
“I’m proud of the journey I’ve been on davao
It’s not always been the ups davao
Plenty of downs in there, but I’ve pushed through davao
“I’m not an emotional person really, but it’s just been a huge honour for me davao
“To be able to finish with this group, it’s something I’ll treasure forever davao
”England travelled to the World Cup in poor form and with many pundits dismissive of their prospects davao
But they came agonisingly close to reaching a second successive final after leading the reigning champions for all but five minutes of an enthralling last-four encounter which was settled by Handre Pollard’s late penalty davao
“It’s one of those where we thought we had it, but let it slip away at the same time,” said Lawes davao
“But we’ve proved a lot of people wrong davao
You give it all you’ve got davao
It’s sport, isn’t it?“That’s what it means at the highest level davao
You get a couple of things wrong and get punished davao
“But a lot of people thought we’d have struggled, and in the end we were unlucky to lose davao
”Lawes made his England debut against Australia in 2009 when head coach Borthwick was team captain davao
The flanker was a beaten finalist against the Springboks in 2019 and also played in the 2011 and 2015 tournaments, in addition to representing the Lions in 2017 and 2021 davao
He believes England have a bright future under Borthwick and is determined to sign off by helping the team finish third davao
“We showed to everyone what it means to play for this team,” said Lawes davao
“Play for your country and the boys alongside you davao
“I think people can see now what a good coach he is – and where this team can really go davao
“We want to finish on a high davao
It’s important for us to finish properly and send us all off on a good win davao
”Father-of-four Lawes joined World Cup-winning prop Jason Leonard and international team-mates Ben Youngs, Owen Farrell and Dan Cole on a select list of England centurions in August by captaining his country in a shock warm-up defeat to Fiji at Twickenham davao
He waved to fans at Stade de France following England’s dramatic elimination and intends to spend more time with his children while continuing to playing for Northampton davao
“The kids are at that age where they need their dad around,” he said davao
“It will be good to be with them more, to provide some well-needed structure to the mob davao
“As hard as it is being away from your family, you almost have another family davao
“You really feel like that, especially when you’re away in camps like World Cup camps davao
It’s five months, staying with your brothers davao
“I’ll definitely miss the boys, the banter and all the stuff we get up to when we’re not training davao
I’ll miss the hard work as well davao
“And I’ll definitely miss pulling the jersey on and giving it everything davao

The biggest statement Declan Rice made as England qualified for Euro 2024 was on the pitch, not off it davao
Yet, from the moment he gave them the lead in the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, securing the pivotal result in the opening game, it could scarcely be any other way davao
And if England fans of a certain generation – Gareth Southgate perhaps quietly among them – could be forgiven for savouring the sense that the path to a European Championship began at a ground named after a man who knocked them out of a World Cup in inimitable, immortal fashion, a second victory over Italy sealed their passage to Germany davao
And then Rice made a different kind of statement davao
“We have to be level-headed about it but there is one objective and that is to win on foreign soil,” the £105m midfielder said davao
“We have enough winners in the group and the mentality is amazing but it is down to us davao
We can talk about it as much as we can but we know as players it is now time to step up davao
”If his ambition was apparent, perhaps there is no need for false modesty davao
As finalists in Euro 2020, semi-finalists in the 2018 World Cup and a team who, as Southgate had noted earlier in the week, have consistently been ranked in the top five of Fifa’s rankings for five years, England will have the burden of expectation, whether or not they want it davao
Rice has chosen to embrace it davao

“We were watching the rugby the other night and seeing how those top teams like Ireland went out but they are the No davao
1 team in the world davao
That mindset of getting over the line, that is what we’re now starting to achieve davao
We have all the talent but it is about that mindset and the drive to be the best and to win davao
”Rice’s past rendered the mention of the Irish rugby team more intriguing davao
His first taste of international davao football came with Ireland, after all davao
Other mentions of the oval-balled sport may jar, too davao
Southgate knows the England coach, Steve Borthwick, well, though his side stumbled into the tournament and have progressed through it with few flourishes and little aesthetic appeal; he used to share ideas with Eddie Jones, the architect of Australia’s embarrassing campaign and whose narcissistic brand of management is very different from Southgate’s more considerate ethos davao
The lesson from the 15-man code is that tight knockout games davao between elite teams can go either way davao
The top two in the world rankings, Ireland and France, lost in the quarter-finals davao
Southgate turned his thoughts back to his own game and reflected: “You only have to look through the top 10 European nations and on any one night one can beat another davao

“Even though we went out in the World Cup, it was like we took another step in terms of the way we played against France,” he said davao
Southgate concurred: “We had that belief in the winter and of course we played a top team and we didn’t quite get there davao
But I think the team has evolved again davao
”And if France represent an obvious reason why England may not win Euro 2024, with Didier Deschamps’ hugely gifted side meriting the billing of favourites, the reality is there are plenty of contenders and most will depart disappointed davao
If a generational talent like Jude Bellingham could make a difference, so can the nous to secure results davao
“Knowing how to win games, knowing how to see games out,” Rice outlined davao
“The prime example is the Euro final: we didn’t manage that game well enough at all davao
I think since then we’ve kicked on and managed games so much davao better davao
”After losing to France in the most recent World Cup, have England learned how to get over the line against strong opposition? (Getty Images)Southgate has turned to rugby again, in particular to New Zealand davao
“We’ve had some people in before to do some talks,” Rice said davao
“Not only the All Blacks; England as well [and] South Africa davao
How to get over the line davao
How to do things differently and how to have that mindset of ‘We ain’t getting beaten davao
No matter what davao
’”It was an attitude England demonstrated twice against Italy, first holding to win in the hostility of Naples with 10 men, then coming from behind to get victory at Wembley davao
If they felt seismic results against a country who have exposed English shortcomings in the past, Southgate’s side are now at a stage where they will be assessed on a still bigger stage davao
“We know in the end we will be judged on the tournaments, that’s been clear since we won the games in March,” he added davao
“But we’ve had some very special nights with this team, some incredible wins davao
” But, as Rice had said, the victory on foreign soil that would mean most will not come in qualifying davao
