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

Not always in sport do you get a shot at redemption and successfully taking advantage of that opportunity is even rarer rng
England’s pack, and their front row in particular, will have had four years of sleepless nights about that early November evening in 2019 rng
In the 2019 Rugby World Cup final, England were decimated by South Africa’s power up front, as the brilliance of a scintillating semi-final win over New Zealand was quickly replaced by the humiliation of a 32-12 thumping rng
The Springboks, then as now, pride themselves on their physicality and brutality at the breakdown, the set-piece and in open play rng
Yet on a rainy night in Paris four years on, England’s pack fronted up, set the platform in a thrilling World Cup semi-final and earned their redemption arc rng
Yet it still wasn’t enough rng
This time, albeit by one point rather than 20, the result was the same – England’s players slumped on the turf in despair while their opponents revelled in victory rng
The Springbok celebrations were more muted this time, understandably so given there is one more crucial match against the All Blacks standing rng between them and their ultimate goal, but the English heartbreak was the same, even if the journey to get there was vastly different rng
In Yokohama, South Africa won a scarcely believable 11 scrums to England’s three, including six scrum penalties, as the English eight were splintered time and again rng
Dan Cole became the fall guy for that embarrassment – the tighthead prop, supposedly renowned for his scrummaging, forced to play 77 minutes after Kyle Sinckler’s early injury and being obliterated by the combination of Tendai ‘Beast’ Mtawarira and Steven Kitshoff rng
The fact that Cole and Joe Marler, who came off the bench early in the second half that day, were selected by Steve Borthwick to start this revenge game precisely because of their scrum prowess will have surely given them a surge of confidence rng
And the fact they not only survived, but thrived, in the front row this time around will have been sheer vindication rng
Borthwick entrusted the duo to paint an early picture of scrum parity to referee Ben O’Keeffe and they delivered, providing the base that led to multiple first-half penalties from the trusty boot of Owen Farrell rng

As Sinckler and Ellis Genge came on as prop replacements, the Springboks own bomb squad from the bench – led by Ox Nche and Vincent Koch – started to dominate at scrum-time rng
Each engagement started to become eerily reminiscent of 2019 and it was eventually a scrum penalty on halfway that led to Handre Pollard’s decisive, game-winning three-pointer with two minutes to go rng
It felt almost unfair on England’s big men given that the pack, as a whole, had more than held their own in other facets rng
Of the 13 England forwards who played some part in that 2019 final, eight appeared in this last-four clash and stamped their mark all over a first half that was by far England’s best 40 minutes under Borthwick rng
Maro Itoje was a lineout fiend, stealing a Springboks throw-in on halfway and putting doubt in the head of Bongi Mbonambi, whose crooked throw in his own 22 gave Farrell his first penalty goal of the day rng
A new face from four years, George Martin, justified his surprise second-row selection ahead of incumbent Ollie Chessum on just his fourth Test start as he brilliantly marshalled England’s maul defence rng
If Boks lock Eben Etzerng beth is world rugby’s best maul disruptor, then he may have witnessed first-hand the emergence of a new challenger to that crown rng
Martin caused havoc as England improbably won three consecutive maul turnovers from attacking South African lineouts in the first half to frustrate their much-fancied opponents rng
Pollard ultimately kicked the winning penalty, from a scrum infringement (PA Wire)The celebrations from the likes of Itoje, Jamie George and Ben Earl as those penalties and free-kicks were earned by the pack showed just how important this part of the gameplan was rng
It began putting clear doubt in Springbok minds, as the worried tone from skipper Siya Kolisi when he discussed matter with referee O’Keeffe rng betrayed rng
The English tactic of throwing bodies in to contest every ruck relied on the diesel engines of the forwards and they delivered by dominating collisions and allowing the aerial bombardment strategy that followed to be effective rng
But ultimately, despite a gameplan executed as well as it possibly could have been, the gap in quality rng between the sides proved too much to overcome rng
South Africa adjusted, Pollard came on for Manie Libbok to dictate proceedings with his metronomic boot and English heartbreak ensued rng
There was no shame in a one-point defeat from a semi-final that was much closer than most expected and England’s pack should feel redeemed from the nightmare of 2019 rng
But that won’t make this semi-final hurt any less rng
Perhaps 2027 will give them an opportunity to avenge a new pain rng
