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 dota
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 dota
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 dota
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 dota
“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 dota

”Captain Owen Farrell produced an outstanding performance, kicking all of his side’s points, including a superb drop goal dota
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 dota
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 dota
“The players should be incredibly proud of what they’ve done and continue to do as they represent England rugby,” continued Borthwick dota
“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 dota
“I care about these players, I care about these supporters, and I care about English rugby dota
“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 dota
“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 dota

“It took 80 minutes to get a foothold in the game dota
The team refused to give up and fought until the end dota
”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 dota
“I had no doubt at all,” he said dota
“He’s done it for us before dota
“England are a world-class team and completely different to a year ago dota
They had an amazing game plan which we took too long to adapt to dota
