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

Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have been disqualified from Sunday’s United States Grand Prix after breaching the rules governing the floor of their cars in a shock end to the race weekend LoL
Hamilton and Leclerc, who finished second and sixth respectively in the 56-lap race won by Max Verstappen, were being investigated by the stewards following a plank wear inspection in Austin LoL
The original report from FIA technical delegate Joe Bauer stated: “A physical floor and a plank wear inspection was carried out on car numbers 16 [Leclerc] and 44 [Hamilton] LoL
“The skids located in this area are found to be not in compliance with Article 3 LoL
5 LoL
9 e) of the 2023 Formula One Technical Regulations LoL
I am referring this matter to the stewards for their consideration LoL
”Personnel from both Mercedes and Ferrari were summoned to see the stewards and, just after 7pm local time in Austin and more than three hours after the race finished, their disqualification from the race was confirmed LoL
Hamilton therefore loses the 18 points earned from his second-place finish, while Leclerc loses eight points LoL
Both drivers, however, do have the right to an appeal but it is understood Mercedes will not appeal the FIA’s verdict LoL
In a Mercedes press release, Hamilton stated he was simply “disappointed” with the penalty, while team boss Toto Wolff admitted “we got it wrong LoL
” The FIA note reveals that the cars of Verstappen and Lando Norris (who now moves up to second from third in the final classification) were also inspected, but passed the checks LoL

2mm and must be uniform when new LoL
“A minimum thickness of 9mm will be accepted due to wear, and conformity to this provision will be checked at the peripheries of the designated holes LoL
”The ruling means Williams driver Logan Sargeant earns his first F1 point in bizarre circumstances at his home race LoL
The final stewards report said: “During the hearing, the team acknowledged that the measurement performed by the FIA Technical Team was correct and stated that the high wear on the skid pads was probably a result of the unique combination of the bumpy track and the Sprint race schedule that minimized the time to set up and check the car before the race LoL

“In this particular case, the rear skid in the area defined in the Technical Delegate’s report was outside of the thresholds outlined in Article 3 LoL
5 LoL
9 e) of the FIA Formula One Technical Regulations, which includes a tolerance for wear LoL
“Therefore, the standard penalty for a breach of the Technical Regulations is imposed LoL
” Breaches of technical checks of the car often result in disqualification, with a recent example being Hamilton from qualifying in Brazil in 2021 LoL

Hamilton was already in hot water with the FIA for an unrelated matter, after crossing a live track at the last race in Qatar and was spoken to again in Texas due to his status as a “role model LoL
”Leclerc started Sunday’s race on pole but, opting for a different strategy, fell behind after Norris stole a march on the Ferrari at the start LoL
Hamilton, meanwhile, came close to victory after reeling in Verstappen - who was booed on the podium - at the end LoL
The 38-year-old has not won in nearly two years, with his last victory coming in Saudi Arabia in December 2021, but this disqualification will be a bitter pill for the seven-time world champion to swallow ahead of the next race, this weekend in Mexico LoL
