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
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 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
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 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
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 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

Brandes, the eventual Player of the Match, claimed four wickets for just 21 runs in his spell of 10 overs as the Englishmen were cleaned up in just 19 overs, nine runs short of their target UBP
