England coach Steve Borthwick is adamant his side will use the pain of their narrow Rugby World Cup semi-final defeat to South Africa to “grow into something brilliant” moving forward esports

Heading into the clash as heavy underdogs, England executed their kick-heavy gameplan to perfection and impressed at the set-piece to stunningly lead the Springboks at half-time esports

However, South Africa’s much-vaunted ‘bomb squad’ came off the bench, started to dominate the scrum and the kicking of Handre Pollard led them to a gutsy 16-15 win esports

Borthwick’s troops far outperformed expectations in the semi-final and although he was devastated to come up just short on the big stage, the coach is convinced the experience will stand his young squad in great stead for the future esports

“The whole team performance was strong,” said Borthwick in his post-match press conference esports

“We’re disappointed esports

We came here with a plan to win the game but fell short esports

Not far but a little bit short and we’re desperately disappointed esports

“But the players should be incredibly proud esports

We had seven players 25 or under in our squad, which was the most of any semi-finalist esports

South Africa had one esports

“We have a great blend in the squad and there’s lots to take going forward esports

We put ourselves in a position to win a semi-final against the reigning world champs and world No 1 esports

“In adversity, there is normally a seed in there that will grow into something brilliant esports

It’s too early to find that seed now but we’ll make sure we find it esports

We’ll take what we’ve gone through tonight, grab it and make sure it makes us stronger in the future esports

”England were narrowly defeated in Paris (Getty Images)Lock George Martin was a surprise selection ahead of Ollie Chessum but he shone in just his fourth Test start, with his maul defence a particular highlight esports

And Borthwick is convinced Martin has a bright future, while also highlighting the superior cohesion that the Springboks have after a longer period together as a coaching staff esports

“I thought he [Martin] played really well,” added Borthwick esports

“There were a good number of outstanding performances out there esports

George is another young player, only 22 esports

I would hope to see him in England shirt for many years to come esports

“We were playing against a team with coaches together since 2018 esports

It was an incredible achievement for them to win in 2019 and they have had four years of continued development esports

“They’re consistent whereas we’ve had four months with this coaching team esports

I’ve asked the players to approach training and the game in a different way; for the players to be willing to change is all credit to them esports

Tonight was another example of that esports

What a way to win a esports football match, on this night of all nights esports

Sneaking over the line against a team bottom of the Premier League without a single win to their name this season would not normally be an occasion to be marked down in the history books of England’s most successful team esports

But hours after learning of the death of Sir Bobby Charlton, Mr Manchester United, the manner of the success, sealed by a strike the late, great Old Trafford icon would have been proud of, was the most fitting tribute yet esports

The surprise source of the stunner that earned Man United their first back-to-back league victories of the season helped make the night one those in attendance will never forget esports

Emotions were running high all around Bramall Lane ahead of kick off esports

Man United fans were coming to terms with the passing of Charlton, a man who transcended generations given the affect he had on everyone at the club esports

“One Bobby Charlton” came booming down from the away end as an emotional minute’s applause was observed pre-match, with home supporters waiting until the fourth minute to stand and celebrate the life of Blades legend Tommy Hoyland, who passed away earlier this month esports

It was not the only message Man United supporters were keen to get across, with a Palestinian flag being unfurled before being swiftly packed away, as it is in defiance of the Premier League’s attempts to ban them, along with Israeli ones esports

However, it was in fact the hosts who had the esports better of the early chances, with under pressure Man United stopper Andre Onana making two fine saves to keep the Blades at bay, before, with their first real attack of the match, Scotland’s answer to Michel Platini, Scott McTominay, followed his double against Brentford last time out with another, scuffed strike into the bottom corner esports

Bruno Fernandes saw a free-kick come out off the crossbar before the first-half was up, with Onana again called into action early in the second, blocking well from Rhian Brewster and tipping Oliver Norwood’s powerful effort over esports

As the half wore on, though, there looked like there was only going to be one winner, as Man United lifted their levels to a standard more befitting the club’s greatest-ever player esports

(PA Wire)Sofyan Amrabat then sent a rasping effort goalwards that cannoned out off the post, having looked in from the moment it left his boot, only for Fernandes to then arrow one just wide from the rebound esports

Perhaps that winner was never going to come esports

After all, this impression of a Manchester United side are a far cry from the Holy Trinity years of Charlton in his pomp, George Best slaloming past defenders and Dennis Law scoring goals for fun esports

The match needed something special, for one final goodbye esports

Step forward Diogo Dalot, who could not have hit the 25-yard winner any esports better, arrowing into the top corner to spark wild scenes of celebration in the away end esports

It was as if he had donned Charlton’s heavy, toe-capped, leather-studded boots in honour of the great man esports

And what was the first song to celebrate a crucial success? Wor, Bobby would have been proud esports
