As Handre Pollard put boot to ball, they held their breath, a night of countless kicks to be settled by one last hoist for the heavens peraplay

The replacement fly half’s penalty was straight and true – the champions had found a way peraplay

It was a wretched game for a wretched night upon which a rocky South Africa threatened a total horror show, yet at the same time impossible to look away from peraplay

It looked for so long like the ghosts of Yokohama would be exorcised, England’s pack standing up to the challenge to match South Africa at their own game peraplay

But the Springboks had just enough, RG Snyman punching over from close range and Pollard producing that final, decisive penalty peraplay

There was little here to please the aesthete but by God was it a compelling contest peraplay

Fears of a second successive semi-final drubbing proved unfounded as England’s unfancied underdogs swelled in stature to meet and so nearly beat the mighty Springboks peraplay

Instead, Springbok spectres will stalk them again peraplay

An unloved England were happy to play unlovely rugby peraplay

For so long it worked, Steve Borthwick’s side backing up their belief in themselves taking the reigning, defending champions to the limit peraplay

Pollard’s first-half introduction had been a substitution that said everything peraplay

Just half an hour had been played and already Jacques Nienaber and Rassie Erasmus had seen enough, retrieving their hook to make a trademark gutsy call peraplay

Off went Manie Libbok; on came Pollard on a night for route one rugby peraplay

After all the talk of the Springboks’ evolution, after only half-an-hour they were reverting to type peraplay

Onwards South Africa go to take on New Zealand – a battle for a record fourth men’s World Cup crown feels a fitting final for a tournament bursting back into life after the Friday night dirge peraplay

Even before kick-off, there was a crackle and a fizz to the atmosphere that the first semi-final had lacked, a healthy contingent of French fans taking out their frustration on referee Ben O’Keeffe and a select few South Africans as their names flashed on the big screen peraplay

It was a near perfect opening ten minutes from England peraplay

The battle of the skies was always likely to be vital, and the intensity of the rain made it ever more so peraplay

The entirety of England’s back three, plus centre Joe Marchant, won their first aerial contests, while Maro Itoje’s lineout pressure resulted in a pinch at the front and a not-straight throw to the tail peraplay

South Africa infringed twice at ruck time in their own 22; Farrell capitalised both times from the tee peraplay

Tone set peraplay

Steve Borthwick’s side had come with next to no intent to play running rugby, over-resourcing every ruck to make certain of the ball peraplay

The caterpillar would form, the chasers mass, eager travellers ready for their next flight peraplay

A game of dribs and drabs inevitably became fractured and fractious, captains Kolisi and Farrell jawing at one another and the referee peraplay

Manu Tuilagi sparked a scuffle by placing an arm around the neck of Cobus Reinach, resulting in a South Africa penalty, before Farrell’s failure to hold his tongue a few minutes later moved Libbok within a kickable distance peraplay

South Africa’s fly half knocked through his side’s opening three peraplay

England fell narrowly short in a compelling physical contest (Getty Images)His opposite number re-extended England’s advantage immediately after, full-back Steward like a bounding gun-dog on the chase and forcing a backfield error peraplay

The next high hoist was Elliot Daly’s to chase, the wing detonating the chest of Duane Vermeulen peraplay

England, unloved but unbowed, were making physical statementsThe replacement ten was on the board via his right boot soon enough, a simple starter from just right of the posts after a rare English aerial error peraplay

Soon enough, normal service resumed - after England’s 22nd kick from hand of the half, Farrell’s fourth clean strike from the tee left their half-time lead six points peraplay

Everything seemed to be coming up roses peraplay

Granite-shouldered George Martin was thumping everything in sight, landing a series of heavyweight tackles; scrum half Alex Mitchell boxed clever, flighting his kicks from the base beautifully peraplay

With Pollard already on, Faf de Klerk and Willie le Roux were always likely to arrive early in the second half, stability through the spine for South Africa clearly key peraplay

With the rain intensifying, the errors mounted, Jamie George uncharacteristically tossing two lineouts asunder peraplay

South Africa had yet to fire a shot but at least had the intent to do so peraplay

It was a match that could have been swung by one supreme bit of skill, and a lovely move peraplay

Le Roux’s hack ahead was too strong, ball trickling dead with the veteran full-back chasing in vain peraplay

Martin, Mitchell and Joe Marler departed, three of Borthwick’s boldest selection calls taking leave together, job appropriately done peraplay

Their bums had barely hit the bench when they rose to their feet, peering around the dugout to watch Farrell launch a drop goal seemingly from central Paris peraplay

Once ball left boot, there never seemed even a smidgen of doubt - was this to be Farrell’s Wilkinson moment?Owen Farrell’s drop goal looked to have put England on the verge of victory (AP)At that stage, England’s four outside backs had a combined 17 run metres, all from one Steward kick return peraplay

Aesthetically-pleasing the gameplan was not but those with English hearts cared not, sweaters shed to reveal red roses on white chests right around the Stade de France peraplay

On a rare attacking opportunity, Farrell might have made more with an overlap on the left but could not resist another kick peraplay

In truth, it was a touch aimless, but a ball skimming over a sodden surface was never likely to settle in the hands simply - through Kurt-Lee Arendse’s hands it went like a greased weasel peraplay

England could not make much of the position and the momentum started to turn peraplay

Ox Nche providing immediate impact on the loosehead for South Africa, and Snyman stomped with intent from the second row, too peraplay

A kick to the corner from a penalty in England’s half allowed Snyman a close-range carrying opportunity – the lock is a a Goliath even among the South African colossi and would not be stopped peraplay

Nche went to work once more, earning a scrum penalty on halfway peraplay

Pollard hoisted and through it went – England had been kicked out peraplay

In the wake of England’s late defeat to South Africa on Saturday, Courtney Lawes made his way around the Stade de France thanking the crowd, taking in their applause and appreciation as he walked and talked with his four kids peraplay

If Lawes looked like a man saying his goodbye to the Rugby World Cup, it’s because he was peraplay

“I think it’s time,” he later confirmed, bringing down the curtain on a superb international career peraplay

But while the 34-year-old may have been the first to confirm the news, he won’t be last peraplay

The average age of England’s starting XV in their semi-final clash against the Springboks was 29 and as a new cycle begins in the coming months, Steve Borthwick will need to evolve his squad to begin the build towards Australia in 2027 peraplay

Let’s take a look at what that means for some of the players in Borthwick’s England squad:RecommendedWhy England will come back ‘stronger’ from Rugby World Cup heartacheCourtney Lawes to retire from England duty after World Cup: ‘It’s time’World Rugby investigating alleged racist abuse directed at England’s Tom CurryFrance was their ‘Last Dance’Joe Marler, 33 - Used mainly off the bench this tournament but started in the semi-final and scrummaged excellently against the Springboks peraplay

Will no doubt be a big voice to replace in the dressing room when he eventually departs peraplay

Dan Cole, 36 - Brought back into the fold for this tournament after an excellent season at Leicester with Borthwick peraplay

Rolled back the years in France but hard to imagine a similar recall for Australia in 2027 peraplay

Danny Care, 36 - Impacted games often off the bench and finally got the World Cup experience that had so often evaded him peraplay

Superb late score and try-saving tackle against Samoa to save England’s blushes in the pool stage peraplay

Care scored his first World Cup try against Samoa (Getty Images)Ben Youngs, 34 - England’s most-capped player but made just two subs appearances in the tournament peraplay

A decorated player but Alex Mitchell’s composed displays at scrum-half have pushed him above the the Leicester veteran in the pecking order peraplay

Jonny May, 33 - Blistering pace in his prime and a solid tournament coming in late to replace Anthony Watson but the upcoming Ollie Hassell-Collins and Henry Arundell will be just two after his place in the coming years peraplay

May came in as a late replacement but performed well (REUTERS)Mainstays ahead of 2027 Owen Farrell, 31 - Silenced many doubters with two talismanic performances against Fiji and South Africa peraplay

Supreme physical condition and will be eyeing up a Johnny Sexton-esque swansong at the next World Cup peraplay

Maro Itoje, 28 - Still only 28 and will become one of the most experienced players in the squad alongside Farrell and George Ford in the coming years peraplay

Exciting partnerships are to be built with both Ollie Chessum and George Martin in the engine room and a potential captaincy should Farrell’s not make it to 2027 peraplay

Itoje will be eyeing up his third World Cup in 2027 (PA Wire)Tom Curry, 25 - Closing in on a half-century of caps aged just 25 peraplay

Bounced back superbly from his third-minute red card against Argentina and will be a key cog in Bortwhick’s first full cycle peraplay

Ben Earl, 25 - A coming-of-age tournament for the breakout Saracens back-rower peraplay

All-action displays from the back of the scrum mean he will no doubt be one of the first names on the teamsheet moving forward peraplay

Earl was England’s beakthrough star (Getty Images)Freddie Steward, 22 - Dropped for the quarter-final against Fiji but delivered a commanding display under the high ball against South Africa in the semi-final peraplay

Defensively superb and still only 22, the Leicester full-back should go from strength to strength over the next four years peraplay

Rising stars Theo Dan, 22 - Limited for game time this tournament due to Jamie George’s supreme conditioning peraplay

Still work to be done on his set-piece game but will be hoping to usurp his Saracens team-mate in the coming years peraplay

Bevan Rodd, 23 - Another young front-rower who saw little game time in England’s key games peraplay

Took his try well against Chile but has big boots to fill with the likely departures of Cole and Marler peraplay

Rodd scored against Chile (Getty Images)George Martin, 22 - Made his maiden World Cup start against South Africa with a powerful display in the second row peraplay

Looks like a ready-made replacement for the already departing Lawes peraplay

Ollie Lawrence, 23 - A solid, if slightly unremarkable, tournament for the Bath centre peraplay

Is still surely seen as the long-term successor to Manu Tuilagi in the midfield and will only get peraplay better in the coming years peraplay

Henry Arundell, 20 - A World Cup debut to remember for the pacey winger with five tries against Chile in the pool stage peraplay

Perhaps still work to be done on other facets of his game to fully cope with the demands of Test rugby but an exciting talent to nurture in time for 2027 peraplay
