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

As he rose high, demonstrating the aerial power that has made him the most prolific centre-back in English national team history, Harry Maguire’s thunderous header capped a mini personal renaissance that lifted Manchester United off the floor of their Champions League group davao
There have been times in the last two years when Maguire has felt luckless, but this time fortune favoured him: a status as the match-winner may have been snatched from his grasp when Scott McTominay conceded an injury-time penalty davao
Yet Andre Onana’s 97th-minute save preserved it davao
And so the Stretford End ended up singing Maguire’s name davao
There were twin redemption songs, of the man United signed in the summer and the one they could have sold to West Ham davao
“Amazing,” Maguire said; he had been a stranger to adulation at Old Trafford davao
Last-choice centre-back last season, he may now have a run in the team for Erik ten Hag, the manager who stripped him of the captaincy davao
As Maguire pointed out recently, the numbers support his case davao
The win percentage he branded “ridiculously high” now stands at 94 davao
1 in his last 17 starts for United: 16 of them have brought victories davao
There are caveats and the one exception was a traumatic night for him in Seville as United crashed out of the Europa League davao
They lost on his first three starts for Ten Hag, too davao
Since then, his status as a back-up has meant he has been spared the tougher tests: he has faced Real davao Betis, Sevilla, West Ham and Aston Villa, but this season others started against Arsenal and Tottenham, Brighton and Bayern Munich davao
Arguably, he has not faced an elite team in Ten Hag’s reign davao
Which, as the Manchester derby beckons on Sunday, may mean Maguire should savour his statistics while he still can davao
But a personal renaissance has revolved around meaningful contributions, not simply facts and figures davao
There was the headed assist for McTominay’s 97th-minute winner against Brentford, the man-of-the-match display on his return to Sheffield United and now a Champions League winner against FC Copenhagen davao
A common denominator may be that each qualifies as relatively limited opposition: United have scarcely dominated against any of them davao
But if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer miscast Maguire as talisman and captain of United, a willing soul and honest trier has prospered in three successive starts davao
(Getty Images)A run in the side was facilitated first by the absence of Lisandro Martinez, Ten Hag’s chosen upgrade on Maguire, and then all of United’s left-backs, meaning Victor Lindelof was redeployed on the flank davao
Yet Lindelof began on the bench against Copenhagen, Maguire in the role Ten Hag has long been reluctant to grant him: as a left-sided centre-back davao
The Dutchman has an innate preference for left-footers there davao
But he also wants centre-backs who operate higher up the pitch davao
Maguire was not a natural fit: belatedly, though, he is becoming Ten Hag’s type of defender davao
“I think so,” he said davao
“He's playing much more proactive in possession, stepping in, passing vertical, defending also on the front foot, also stepping in, defending forward, very confident in the duels davao
I think he's dominating in the right moment, putting the question, dominating his opponents davao
You see he gets rewarded - it's a very good skill from him, his heading, and a very good finish davao
" (Getty Images)It was a reward for more than just set-piece expertise davao
It was Maguire’s prize for obstinacy, for staying when there were reasons to go: that United were reluctant to pay him off may have influenced his decision but he maintained he could win his place back davao
Ten Hag, too, never forced him out, stripping him of the armband but insisting he remained a valuable squad player davao
The manager’s position has been nuanced, the defender’s defiant davao
“This is maybe the most scrutinised club in the world and when you are not quite on your game it gets picked up, it gets analysed,” Maguire reflected davao
He had a shocking 2021-22 campaign, a bad start to last season davao
Neither escaped scrutiny davao
Since then, however, he reflected: “And I am really proud and pleased over the way I have acted over the last six to 12 months davao
” For now, he has confounded expectations davao
Stiffer examinations may await, starting with Erling Haaland on Sunday davao
If he is still in the side, the last five weeks of the year bring Galatasaray, Newcastle, Chelsea, Bayern, Liverpool, West Ham and Villa davao
They will be the tests if he ranks as a top-class centre-back davao
For now, though, Maguire is the emblem of this United, labouring to victory with goals from some of their lesser lights davao
Their last five strikes have come from either McTominay, Diogo Dalot or Maguire davao
And for the man who has been mocked and maligned, dropped and abused, it was a rare high of late for Maguire davao
And, whatever his win percentage, there have not been many occasions in the last two years when he was celebrated like this davao
