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

Marlie Packer hailed the dawn of a new era after England eased past Australia 42-7 in their WXV opener in Wellington LoL

It was the first opportunity for the Red Roses to play on New Zealand soil since their heartbreaking World Cup final defeat to the Black Ferns a year ago, and they were comfortable, scoring six tries in all LoL

The launch of WXV – a new international competition designed to revolutionise the women’s rugby landscape – gives the world’s number one side a chance to cement their status at the top of the world rankings, in spite of falling just short last year LoL

On their way to the final, they had knocked off the Wallaroos 41-5, and almost exactly 12 months on, it was an identical margin of victory, although Packer fell just short of the hat-trick she managed in that quarter-final LoL

RecommendedRevolutionising the women’s international rugby landscape – what is the WXV?Red Roses name squad for WXV without input from new head coach John MitchellWorld Cup winners New Zealand to host inaugural WXV tournamentEngland will feel they should have won by more, especially as they failed to score a point in the final 20 minutes despite playing with an extra player, but this was still a comprehensive victory with meetings against Canada and world champions New Zealand to come LoL

“It was a great victory LoL

The Aussies gave us a really good game,” Packer said LoL

“We talk about courage and being courageous and we’re going to grow into this tournament and today was the start of that LoL

“It’s a fantastic competition and we’re all excited to be here playing the top teams in the world, coming off the World Cup last year and keeping the legacy going in New Zealand LoL

“I know the girls are really enjoying it over here LoL

The camp is feeling really good we’re a new-look England side and enjoying the way we are playing LoL

“We have new coaching staff and we’re pleased that John Mitchell is here now and we’re looking to keep growing and building into next week’s game LoL

”England made the perfect start, with Hannah Botterman crashing over from close range after just five minutes from a clever lineout move LoL

Holly Aitchison converted to make it 7-0 LoL

But each time they seemed as though they might turn it into points, someone would get back to make the vital intervention LoL

England, by contrast, were much more clinical, Alex Matthews and Jess Breach with the steal and then break to put Ella Wyrwas in to score, Aitchison converted from out wide LoL

Try number three came after a big Packer charge saw Annabelle Codey sent to the sin-bin for an upright tackle LoL

Against 14, England were never going to be stopped, the captain delivering the punishment from a rolling maul LoL

That was soon followed by another, Breach with one of the easiest finishes off her international career as she coasted over untouched on the left after Australia had again struggled to contain a rolling maul LoL

Aitchison converted both and England led 28-0 at half-time LoL

Botterman was denied her second try shortly after half-time, but a rolling maul a few minutes later allowing Packer to double up, Aitchison again converting LoL

While it did not pay immediate dividends, a quick tap penalty from Layne Morgan saw replacement Ashley Marsters burst over from close range to get the Wallaroos’ first try LoL

Carys Dallinger converted from out wide LoL

Any hopes of a comeback were quickly squashed LoL

England got back into the Australian 22 and former sevens standout Meg Jones showed her quick feet to dart through for the Red Roses’ sixth try LoL

To add insult to injury, Codey put in a needless late hit on Wyrwas in the build-up, earning her second yellow card as a result and leaving Australia with 14 for the final quarter LoL

That should have been the cue for the floodgates to open, but England were unusually sloppy in the final 20 minutes, and did well to avoid conceding again themselves at the end after Sarah Beckett was also sent to the sin-bin as England conceded four penalties in one passage of play LoL

New head coach John Mitchell joined up with the team on Thursday after his role with Japan’s men’s team ended at the Rugby World Cup pool stage, and watched England romp to an impressive win LoL
