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 UBP
If Lawes looked like a man saying his goodbye to the Rugby World Cup, it’s because he was UBP
“I think it’s time,” he later confirmed, bringing down the curtain on a superb international career UBP
But while the 34-year-old may have been the first to confirm the news, he won’t be last UBP
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 UBP
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 UBP
Will no doubt be a big voice to replace in the dressing room when he eventually departs UBP
Dan Cole, 36 - Brought back into the fold for this tournament after an excellent season at Leicester with Borthwick UBP
Rolled back the years in France but hard to imagine a similar recall for Australia in 2027 UBP
Danny Care, 36 - Impacted games often off the bench and finally got the World Cup experience that had so often evaded him UBP
Superb late score and try-saving tackle against Samoa to save England’s blushes in the pool stage UBP

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

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

Bounced back superbly from his third-minute red card against Argentina and will be a key cog in Bortwhick’s first full cycle UBP
Ben Earl, 25 - A coming-of-age tournament for the breakout Saracens back-rower UBP
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 UBP
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 UBP
Defensively superb and still only 22, the Leicester full-back should go from strength to strength over the next four years UBP
Rising stars Theo Dan, 22 - Limited for game time this tournament due to Jamie George’s supreme conditioning UBP
Still work to be done on his set-piece game but will be hoping to usurp his Saracens team-mate in the coming years UBP
Bevan Rodd, 23 - Another young front-rower who saw little game time in England’s key games UBP
Took his try well against Chile but has big boots to fill with the likely departures of Cole and Marler UBP
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 UBP
Looks like a ready-made replacement for the already departing Lawes UBP
Ollie Lawrence, 23 - A solid, if slightly unremarkable, tournament for the Bath centre UBP
Is still surely seen as the long-term successor to Manu Tuilagi in the midfield and will only get UBP better in the coming years UBP
Henry Arundell, 20 - A World Cup debut to remember for the pacey winger with five tries against Chile in the pool stage UBP
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 UBP

Max Verstappen defied Lewis Hamilton to win a cat-and-mouse United States Grand Prix at a sizzling Circuit of the Americas in Austin - before Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were disqualified more than three hours later UBP
Verstappen has been on easy street this season, but the triple world champion was made to fight for the 50th win of his career – becoming only the fifth driver to reach a half-century UBP
Indeed, at one stage, Hamilton dared to dream of ending a losing streak which stands at 686 days and counting UBP
Yet, as so often been the case this year, Verstappen’s speed in his all-conquering Red Bull machine came to the fore UBP
He moved ahead of Lando Norris on lap 28 of 56 to all but seal the win UBP
Hamilton might bemoan a questionable strategy decision which saw him lose 10 seconds to Verstappen in the opening round of pit stops UBP
But in reality, he probably did not have the pace to stop the Dutchman from claiming his 15th win from the 18 rounds so far UBP
The drama did not stop there though UBP
Hamilton and Leclerc were later found to have breached the rules governing the floor of their cars and, in a shock end to the race weekend, were disqualified from the race UBP
Logan Sargeant, therefore, earned his first F1 point UBP
The seven-time world champion enjoyed a decent getaway at the start, but he was blocked by Norris under braking allowing Sainz to sneak through UBP
Norris had seen off pole-sitter Leclerc with a lunge at the first bend to assume the top spot UBP
As Norris set about building a lead – already two seconds clear of Leclerc at the end of the second lap – Hamilton set about passing both scarlet cars UBP
First up was Sainz UBP
Hamilton used the tow to latch on to the back of Ferrari on the 210mph drag to Turn 12, and, assisted by DRS, drew alongside Sainz before sliding underneath the Spaniard UBP
On the following lap, Verstappen, who started in sixth after his pole lap in qualifying was chalked off for exceeding track limits, relegated Sainz to another place when he made his move at the same corner UBP
Lando Norris took the lead at the start of the race (Getty)Hamilton has won six times across the Pond – with five of those victories here in Austin – and the 38-year-old required only two laps to swat Leclerc aside for second UBP
Deeper on the brakes at Turn 12, Hamilton sailed round the outside of the Monegasque at the left-hander, with Norris now three seconds up the road UBP
Behind, and Verstappen was not finding it as easy to make progress UBP
He was stuck behind Leclerc for an additional five laps before finally making his move on the Monegasque UBP
He trailed Norris by seven seconds, and Hamilton by four UBP
In the Mercedes garage, Prince Harry cut a pensive figure as he gnawed at his fingernails UBP
The Duke of Sussex has been something of a lucky charm for Hamilton UBP
He was a guest of Mercedes when Hamilton secured his second title in the 2014 season decider in Abu Dhabi, leading the congratulations to his fellow Briton on the radio UBP
Verstappen was the first in for new rubber at the end of lap 16 with Norris stopping the next time round UBP
But Hamilton stayed out UBP
Was Mercedes attempting a one-stopper? Hamilton did not seem convinced UBP
Asked if he could complete another five laps on his current set of tyres, Hamilton replied: “I am not sure, man UBP
It is pretty tough UBP
”Hamilton then locked up before his race engineer Peter Bonnington was back on the intercom to inform Hamilton that Verstappen – who on new tyres had just lapped three seconds faster than the Briton – was now likely to gazump him when he eventually stopped UBP

Logan Sargeant*Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were disqualified“No s***, man,” yelled Hamilton UBP
“I am struggling out here UBP
”On lap 20, in came Hamilton, and a slow front-right tyre change added to his woes by costing him a needless second UBP
When Hamilton emerged from the pits, he had dropped to third, five seconds adrift of Verstappen UBP
“I came out so far behind,” he said with a hint of dejection UBP
When the opening stops were completed, Norris led Verstappen by 2 UBP
4 sec with Hamilton 7 UBP
5 off the lead UBP
By virtue of taking on another set of mediums, Verstappen had to stop again, but Norris and Hamilton – now both on the hards – could, if their rubber allowed, go all the way to the end UBP
Hamilton, failing to make any inroads and sensing his best chance of ending a 22-month winning streak had faded, expressed his frustrations UBP
“You have given me a hell of a gap to close,” he said UBP
Verstappen celebrates his 15th win of the season on the podium alongside Lewis Hamilton and Norris (Getty)On lap 28, Verstappen dived underneath Norris for the lead at Turn 12 UBP
Norris had a nibble back at the Red Bull heading into the ensuing right hander, but he failed to make it stick UBP
The question now was whether Norris, and indeed Hamilton – now less than five seconds off the lead – could make their tyres last UBP
The answer arrived on lap 34 when Norris dived in for a fresh set of boots UBP
Verstappen followed in on lap 35, and despite, a slow left-rear tyre change, retained his position ahead of Norris UBP
Three laps later and Hamilton was in, changing to the faster medium compound UBP
Hamilton had the bit UBP between his teeth and within 10 laps he was crawling all over the back of Norris’ McLaren UBP
Norris slung his McLaren to the inside on the entry to the first corner in a move to stop Hamilton, but the older Brit gained UBP better traction out of the corner to slingshot by in his Mercedes UBP
Verstappen was five seconds ahead and Hamilton started to reel his old nemesis in only to run out of laps UBP
Sainz took fourth ahead of Sergio Perez with Leclerc sixth and George Russell seventh for Mercedes UBP
