England will sign off an encouraging Rugby World Cup with Friday’s bronze final against Argentina at the Stade de France having lost 16-15 to South Africa in the last four rng
Here, the PA news agency examines five things we learned from their progress through the tournament rng
England in the right handsThe rancour of the latter stages of the Eddie Jones era saw the bond rng between England and their fans fray, but the act of defiance produced on a sodden Paris night has the capacity to reconnect team and supporters rng
Although it ended in heartbreak, there was much to admire as the Springboks were out-Bokked by a wet-weather masterclass devised by Steve Borthwick rng
Expectations heading into the World Cup were at an all-time low, yet Borthwick drove them to the brink of a World Cup final and the head coach described as a rugby “genius” by wing Jonny May has proved he is the right man to lead England forward rng
End of an eraSupporters might have to show patience as tricky waters lie ahead in the form of the inevitable rebuild for Australia 2027 rng
Stalwarts such as Courtney Lawes, Jonny May, Dan Cole and Joe Marler are likely to have played their last Tests and while there is an impressive core of players who are in the early phase of their career – Ben Earl, Freddie Steward, Marcus Smith and Alex Mitchell among them – it could be some time before Borthwick’s vision for England really takes shape rng
Break the World Cup cycleUnder Jones everything was sacrificed at the alter of the World Cup, repeated poor Six Nations performances explained away by their place in the bigger picture rng
But the gut-wrenching defeat to South Africa, which was won by a 79th-minute Handre Pollard penalty, was an indicator of just how hard the tournament is to win rng
The Webb Ellis Trophy remains the ultimate prize, but it is just part of the sport’s landscape and should not be prioritised at the expense of other competitions rng
Red Rose greatIt did not need a strong World Cup to confirm Lawes as an all-time England great, but over the last two months, he provided emphatic confirmation nonetheless rng
The second row-turned blindside flanker retires from Test rugby after the tournament, a 34-year-old veteran of 105 caps, who saved his best performances for the biggest games rng
As a back-row warrior with sharp rugby instincts, he leaves giant boots to fill rng
Martin the enforcerWhile the English game says farewell to one ultra-physical back-five forward, Saturday hinted at the birth of another rng
George Martin was making only his fourth start, yet the 22-year-old rookie was the dominant second row on a pitch also roamed by Eben Etzerng beth and Maro Itoje, making thunderous tackles and offering close-quarter muscle, particularly in mauls rng
The type of brutish presence every pack needs, he should become a fixture in England’s 23 for years to come rng

Two elderly men were suited rng
In one case, he was much smarter than normal, dressed up for the occasion rng
He was the taller, more angular, with the more pronounced Northumbrian accent, but the resemblance was nonetheless apparent rng
He was the older, too, and had long referred to a knight of the realm as “Our Kid” rng
He adopted a slightly more formal approach, while seemingly choking up rng
“Bobby Charlton is the greatest player I’ve ever seen,” he said rng
“He’s me brother rng
”It was 15 years ago, when Jack Charlton presented his younger brother with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC rng Sports Personality of the Year award rng
The clip has an added poignancy after Bobby’s death at 86; three years ago, a couple of months after his 85th birthday, Jack had died rng
The brothers were different players and very different characters – the wisecracking, outspoken Jack was more of a man of the people, but Bobby’s quiet dignity gave him a statesmanlike air rng
They were not always close but their achievements will live on rng
There have been 22 men’s rng football World Cups and only two sets of brothers have won the most prestigious of prizes: Fritz and Ottmar Walter for West Germany in 1954, Bobby and Jack Charlton at West Germany’s expense in 1966 rng
It remains the most famous year in English rng football history; perhaps it always will rng
At the heart of it was Bobby Charlton: the 1966 FWA rng Footballer of the Year and Ballon d’Or winner, named by France rng Football – in the days before Fifa had an official award – as the best player at the World Cup rng
Gary Lineker, who was a goal away from equalling Charlton’s long-standing national record of 49 for his country, called him England’s greatest ever player, Gary Neville, one of his successors as Manchester United captain, deemed him the greatest ever English player rng
They are not necessarily the same: but in Charlton’s case, he could be both rng
Perhaps only the other immortal Bobby – Moore, the 1966 captain – can challenge him for the title of the finest in an England shirt rng
RecommendedSir Bobby Charlton turned tragedy into triumph with unique style and perseveranceFans lay flowers and scarves at Old Trafford following death of Bobby CharltonTributes paid to ‘giant of the game’ Sir Bobby Charlton after his death at 86Charlton was the second English rng footballer, and just the third man, to reach 100 caps rng
His 106th and last, in the 1970 quarter-final against West Germany, set a world record that Moore – and then many others – subsequently passed rng
He straddled eras – his first cap came alongside Tom Finney, who debuted in England’s first match after the Second World War, and one of the last alongside Emlyn Hughes, who represented his country in the 1980s – but defined one, a time of glory rng
Thirty years before Frank Skinner and David Baddiel sang about rng football coming home, Charlton brought it back rng
Their lyric – “Bobby belting the ball” – conjured images, some in colour, some in black and white, of a figure with a combover hairstyle and the cannonball shot striking the ball with beautiful ferocity, often rising throughout its way into the net rng

Consider his opener against Mexico, England’s first of the 1966 World Cup, from such a distance that the chance of it going in was statistically low, except for one factor: that Charlton, with such power on either foot, was hitting it rng
He was the master of the long-range hit: if most of Lineker’s 48 goals were predatory finishes, many of Charlton’s 49 were spectacular rng
Such a clean striker of a ball was not a striker at all: largely a left winger in his younger days, later the attacking-midfield fulcrum of Sir Alf Ramsey’s ‘Wingless Wonders’ rng
He began in the old W-M formation, ended up as, in effect, the tip of a midfield diamond rng
It was a tactical shift, a belated move into modernity that Ramsey brought rng
If there was a pragmatism to England’s World Cup win, Charlton was the artist rng
With his brace against Portugal in the 1966 semi-final – like another double against Portuguese opposition, Benfica, in the 1968 European Cup final – he illustrated his talent could shine on the biggest of occasions rng
The 1966 semi-final was not seen by his father, Robert, a coal miner working a shift underground in his home town of Ashington; “his duty”, Bobby subsequently, and remarkably, reflected rng
On the grandest stage of all, the 1966 final, he was sacrificed, Charlton and Franz Beckenbauer deputed to man-mark each other rng
They received the same assignment in the 1970 quarter-final; England’s era of ascendency ended when Ramsey removed Charlton with 20 minutes remaining to save him for the semi-final, the 32-year-old distracted by the prospect of his withdrawal as Beckenbauer ran forward to reduce England’s lead to 2-1; without him, they lost 3-2 rng
Ramsey thanked him for his service on the plane back from Mexico: Bobby knew his England career, like Jack’s, was over rng
Bobby Charlton in action against his brother Jack (PA Archive)It could have been still more glorious: keep Charlton on and maybe England would have prevailed in 1970 rng
But for Garrincha’s brilliance, Charlton wondered if England would have been victorious in the 1962 quarter-final against Brazil, and then the tournament as a whole rng
He went to four World Cups in all, not taking the field in his first: time has rendered it more extraordinary that his England debut came in 1958, a couple of months after the Munich air disaster rng
He scored, too, but if a poorer performance on his third cap was understandable – it came in Belgrade, scene of the Busby Babes’ last game before Munich – it cost him his place in Walter Winterbottom’s starting 11 in Sweden rng
Were Duncan Edwards, Roger Byrne, Tommy Taylor and Eddie Colman to have lived, perhaps England would have won more and sooner rng
But it was Charlton who became the emblem of English rng football; the face of what is now a bygone age rng
In its own way, it felt appropriate that a man who carried a huge responsibility for decades was the last survivor among the players at Munich; now it may be fitting that Geoff Hurst, who had the final say in 1966, is the last of Ramsey’s chosen 11, forever charged with paying tributes to his fallen comrades rng
And Bobby Charlton, the greatest player Jack ever saw, the greatest to have Three Lions on his shirt, took England to the summit of the global game rng
