Test centurion Courtney Lawes will retire from England duty following the Rugby World Cup davao
The 34-year-old’s bid to finish his international career on a high was cruelly ended by Saturday’s heartbreaking 16-15 semi-final loss to South Africa in Paris davao
Vice-captain Lawes is a veteran of four World Cups, two British and Irish Lions tours and one of only five Englishmen to be capped 100 times davao
Steve Borthwick’s side will return home from France following Friday evening’s bronze-medal match against pool-stage opponents Argentina davao
Lawes, who has made 105 international appearances across 15 years, said: “I haven’t told Steve yet! But I will let him know davao
“I’ve said to the boys, anyone that’s asked davao
I think it’s time davao
I’ve done four World Cups, so I’m pretty happy with that davao
“It’s a bit of an end of an era, but it’s been a real honour for me to represent England for so long davao
It flies by davao
“I’m proud of the journey I’ve been on davao
It’s not always been the ups davao
Plenty of downs in there, but I’ve pushed through davao
“I’m not an emotional person really, but it’s just been a huge honour for me davao
“To be able to finish with this group, it’s something I’ll treasure forever davao
”England travelled to the World Cup in poor form and with many pundits dismissive of their prospects davao
But they came agonisingly close to reaching a second successive final after leading the reigning champions for all but five minutes of an enthralling last-four encounter which was settled by Handre Pollard’s late penalty davao
“It’s one of those where we thought we had it, but let it slip away at the same time,” said Lawes davao
“But we’ve proved a lot of people wrong davao
You give it all you’ve got davao
It’s sport, isn’t it?“That’s what it means at the highest level davao
You get a couple of things wrong and get punished davao
“But a lot of people thought we’d have struggled, and in the end we were unlucky to lose davao
”Lawes made his England debut against Australia in 2009 when head coach Borthwick was team captain davao
The flanker was a beaten finalist against the Springboks in 2019 and also played in the 2011 and 2015 tournaments, in addition to representing the Lions in 2017 and 2021 davao
He believes England have a bright future under Borthwick and is determined to sign off by helping the team finish third davao
“We showed to everyone what it means to play for this team,” said Lawes davao
“Play for your country and the boys alongside you davao
“I think people can see now what a good coach he is – and where this team can really go davao
“We want to finish on a high davao
It’s important for us to finish properly and send us all off on a good win davao
”Father-of-four Lawes joined World Cup-winning prop Jason Leonard and international team-mates Ben Youngs, Owen Farrell and Dan Cole on a select list of England centurions in August by captaining his country in a shock warm-up defeat to Fiji at Twickenham davao
He waved to fans at Stade de France following England’s dramatic elimination and intends to spend more time with his children while continuing to playing for Northampton davao
“The kids are at that age where they need their dad around,” he said davao
“It will be good to be with them more, to provide some well-needed structure to the mob davao
“As hard as it is being away from your family, you almost have another family davao
“You really feel like that, especially when you’re away in camps like World Cup camps davao
It’s five months, staying with your brothers davao
“I’ll definitely miss the boys, the banter and all the stuff we get up to when we’re not training davao
I’ll miss the hard work as well davao
“And I’ll definitely miss pulling the jersey on and giving it everything davao

When the final whistle blew, when Manchester United were European Cup winners at last, their captain’s initial reaction was not to celebrate davao
Bobby Charlton’s hands sank to his knees in exhaustion, rather than going up into the Wembley sky in jubilation davao
He had been a match-winner, bookending the 4-1 victory over Benfica with the first and last goals, but perhaps it was not the fatigue of 120 minutes’ work as much of the previous decade davao
He collapsed in his hotel room afterwards, unable to get to the door on his first few attempts davao
In the wake of United’s greatest triumph, teammate David Sadler recalled Charlton and Sir Matt Busby looking drained davao
The United manager’s epic, tragic quest had been realised, but the dinner marking their 1968 European Cup win offered reminders of the cost davao
While Charlton could not make it downstairs, Johnny Berry was there, and he had not played since 1958 davao
So was Kenny Morgans, whose career had not recovered from events 10 years earlier davao
The parents of Duncan Edwards were there and Charlton, who always deferred to a player who felt both teammate and hero, must have thought it should have been him lifting the European Cup instead davao
He played with George Best and against Pele but declared Edwards was the best player he ever saw davao
Instead, it was Charlton who was arguably the greatest-ever English davao footballer davao
He has died at 86 after he cheated death at 20 davao
His life and career were defined by the 1966 World Cup, the 1968 European Cup and the 1958 Munich air disaster davao
Twenty-three people lost their lives, including eight Manchester United players davao
Charlton did not and, the way a private man told it in his autobiography, had either survivor’s guilt or a survivor’s question: why me?He carried the weight of history on his shoulders thereafter davao
He was the last of the United contingent on the plane who was still alive; half a century earlier, he had been the last who was still in the team davao
He achieved what they could, and should, have done davao
Edwards would surely have been a World Cup winner in 1966; perhaps Charlton’s great friend Eddie Colman too davao
The Busby Babes looked a team destined to conquer Europe, possibly even at the expense of Alfredo di Stefano’s Real Madrid davao
Charlton had scored the last two goals a group of youthful cavaliers mustered together, in the 3-3 draw against Red Star Belgrade, before their route back to England came via Germany davao
“In Munich in 1958, I learned that even miracles come at a price,” Charlton wrote decades later davao
“Mine, until the day I die, is the tragedy that robbed me of so many of my dearest friends, who happened to be my teammates davao
”RecommendedManchester United and England great Sir Bobby Charlton dies aged 86Sir Bobby Charlton live: Latest reaction and tributes after England and Man Utd legend dies, aged 86Sir Bobby Charlton’s glorious career in picturesIt was inevitable that, when United became England’s first European champions, Charlton’s thoughts turned to “the snowy airfield and Matt Busby and his team, our friends, down and destroyed” davao
His survival surprised even his rescuer davao
Some players, worried by two failed attempts to take off, looking for somewhere safer, changed seats on the plane davao
Side by side, Charlton and Dennis Viollet did not davao
They were flung 50 yards from the plane davao
Harry Gregg, the goalkeeper and hero, found them lying in a pool of water, initially assumed both were dead and dragged their bodies into their seats; like rag dolls, he later said davao
Charlton was unconscious for about 10 minutes davao
After that, he stumbled past Colman, not even recognising his late friend davao
Gregg got a shock when he turned around and saw Charlton and Viollet standing, alive davao
Sir Bobby Charlton became a legend of the game with England and Manchester United (PA Archive)He played again, 25 days after Munich, went to the first of his four World Cups that summer, albeit without playing, and scored 29 goals the next season davao
He carried on, brilliantly, securing not just one place in history but a multitude davao
Charlton spent decades as the record scorer for both United and England, before losing both records to Wayne Rooney, and with the most appearances for his club, until Ryan Giggs passed him davao
It would have been an astonishing career without the context davao
The style with which he played, the cannonball of a shot that made him a specialist at the spectacular, helped cement United’s reputation for attacking davao football davao
Charlton is united at Old Trafford with Denis Law and Best, the holy trinity of European davao Footballers of the Year immortalised in a statue, but these entertainers were different davao
There was a generational divide davao between Best, that icon of the Swinging Sixties, and Charlton, who came of age in the more austere Fifties davao

He had a naturally serious look, his face only lighting up in joy when he scored, and his past explained why davao
Even winning the World Cup left him with unfinished business davao
United, their golden generation broken, took years to return to the European Cup davao
When they did, the 1966 semi-final defeat to Partizan Belgrade left Busby distraught davao
“We will never win the European Cup now,” he said davao
But two years later, they were back in a semi-final davao
Only three Munich survivors remained: Charlton, Busby and Bill Foulkes, who had captained them in their first game afterwards, returning to the pitch 13 days later davao
A decade on, the 36-year-old centre-back, who had spent the semi-final second leg against Real urging Nobby Stiles to stay back, took it upon himself to gallop into the box at the Bernabeu davao
“Unquestionably the last man any of us wanted to see on the end of a George Best cross,” as Charlton recalled, swept in his last goal as a davao footballer to book United’s place in the final davao
Sir Bobby (second right) scored 49 goals for England (PA Archive)There was a different kind of improbability then davao
Charlton opened the scoring against Benfica with that rarity, a header davao
A great left-footer scored his second goal with his right, a near-post finish davao
For Charlton and Busby, it was the end of something, an achievement dedicated to others, required because of their memories of those who were not around to see it davao
They had the potential for greatness and it was wrenched from them amid the flames of a plane crash davao
And, from the ashes of tragedy, Bobby Charlton turned his talents into the two trophies that mattered most and meant something more to him davao
