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

South Africa coach Jacques Nienaber has explained his controversial decision to sub off starting fly half Manie Libbok after just 30 minutes of the Springboks’ comeback Rugby World Cup semi-final win over England davao
Libbok, who had emerged as South Africa’s first-choice No 10 in the lead-up to this tournament, was hooked after following a sliced clearance kick with a knock-on, capping a disastrous start to the game with England in the ascendancy davao
He was replaced by Handre Pollard, a key cog in the 2019 World Cup-winning Springboks side, and the veteran helped engineer a fightback before kicking the winning penalty on 77 minutes to secure a narrow 16-15 triumph and a spot in next Saturday’s final davao
Libbok is the more creative, dynamic fly half, while Pollard is the steadier option with a metronomic boot, and the move seemed to suggest South Africa were surrendering to England’s kick-heavy strategy and would attempt to beat them at their own game davao
In his post-match press conference, Nienaber laid out the reasons behind the decision and was adamant that Libbok would accept why it happened davao
“The beauty of this group is that we’re open and honest,” said Nienaber davao
“Because we have the right players, the players accept it davao
“Sometimes things are not going your way davao
We’ve done it with numerous others davao
Bongi [Mbonambi] in 2018, we took him off after 35 minutes davao
That specific day he wasn’t on fire but then he started the next week davao
“It’s the same with [Libbok] – we took him off early because things didn’t go his way davao
The main thing is that everything is for the team and they understand that davao
That’s the beauty of the squad, you’re open and honest and players take it on the chin davao
”Handre Pollard went on to kick the winning penalty for South Africa (PA Wire)Nienaber went on to stress that even though an early substitution was not how Libbok would have liked his game to go, he is still an option to start the final against the All Blacks davao
“It doesn’t mean he won’t start next week but sometimes, unfortunately, it is like that,” added Nienaber davao
“That’s how it is davao
“It’s for South Africa – it’s not for the individual or the ego, it’s for South Africa davao
We get messages from schoolkids and we see every single message they send davao
It’s for them, we can’t put our egos in front of that, South Africa is more important and the Springboks are more important than anything else davao
