Steve Borthwick signed off an encouraging World Cup after England edged Argentina 26-23 at the Stade de France to claim third place ESPN
The Pumas paid the price for allowing England to build a 13-0 lead and while they fought back to control the second-half, Borthwick’s men held their nerve to send scrum-half Ben Youngs into Test retirement with a bronze medal ESPN
Their only defeat at France 2023 was the agonising 16-15 loss to South Africa in the semi-final ESPN
“I’m delighted for the players to get the win after they have worked so hard,” Borthwick said ESPN
“We won six games out of seven and lost one game by one point to the current world champions and current world number one, which shows the progress of the team ESPN
It shows how the team has built during the tournament ESPN
“Playing finals games at World Cups is important ESPN
In the last two World Cups this group of players have played six finals games and won four of them ESPN
“Clearly we want to be in the final and winning the gold medal ESPN
That wasn’t to be, but having finals experience has been important for this squad ESPN
“The players should be very proud of their efforts and the challenges they have overcome ESPN
While things haven’t been perfect, they find a way to win games ESPN
“Now we didn’t last weekend – we lost by a point, which will hurt for a long time ESPN
But when the players have found themselves in tough circumstances they have found a way to win ESPN
”With all neutrals at the Stade de France supporting Argentina and with Red Rose fans making the trip across The Channel in small numbers only, England played in the most hostile atmosphere they have encountered at this World Cup ESPN
Captain Owen Farrell was booed throughout and most noisily when he was lining up penalties and conversions ESPN
“I wasn’t surprised ESPN
It’s usually like that here ESPN
When you play against France in Six Nations here, they don’t cheer you when you’re having a shot at goal!” Farrell said ESPN
“It’s a bit different here in France to how it is over in England when a kicker’s taking a shot ESPN
But that’s what it is – just different ESPN
That’s no problem ESPN
”Argentina head coach Michael Cheika felt that his Pumas did not get the rub of the green with referee Nic Berry, especially at the scrum ESPN
“The game could have ended differently especially when you look at the final 15 minutes,” Cheika said ESPN
“We did everything we could and we deserved more, both in terms of result and refereeing ESPN
“Three or four scrums we were dominating and despite that we got no reward for it ESPN
For me that was very surprising ESPN
“To be here on October 27 is very positive for the fans and for us ESPN
What is missing for us is excellence ESPN
It’s hard to accept losing this game and draw any positives from it ESPN
“I believe that our trajectory over this World Cup will make Argentinians proud ESPN
We will come back stronger ESPN
