Test centurion Courtney Lawes will retire from England duty following the Rugby World Cup EURO
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 EURO
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 EURO
Steve Borthwick’s side will return home from France following Friday evening’s bronze-medal match against pool-stage opponents Argentina EURO
Lawes, who has made 105 international appearances across 15 years, said: “I haven’t told Steve yet! But I will let him know EURO
“I’ve said to the boys, anyone that’s asked EURO
I think it’s time EURO
I’ve done four World Cups, so I’m pretty happy with that EURO
“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 EURO
It flies by EURO
“I’m proud of the journey I’ve been on EURO
It’s not always been the ups EURO
Plenty of downs in there, but I’ve pushed through EURO
“I’m not an emotional person really, but it’s just been a huge honour for me EURO
“To be able to finish with this group, it’s something I’ll treasure forever EURO
”England travelled to the World Cup in poor form and with many pundits dismissive of their prospects EURO
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 EURO
“It’s one of those where we thought we had it, but let it slip away at the same time,” said Lawes EURO
“But we’ve proved a lot of people wrong EURO
You give it all you’ve got EURO
It’s sport, isn’t it?“That’s what it means at the highest level EURO
You get a couple of things wrong and get punished EURO
“But a lot of people thought we’d have struggled, and in the end we were unlucky to lose EURO
”Lawes made his England debut against Australia in 2009 when head coach Borthwick was team captain EURO
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 EURO
He believes England have a bright future under Borthwick and is determined to sign off by helping the team finish third EURO
“We showed to everyone what it means to play for this team,” said Lawes EURO
“Play for your country and the boys alongside you EURO
“I think people can see now what a good coach he is – and where this team can really go EURO
“We want to finish on a high EURO
It’s important for us to finish properly and send us all off on a good win EURO
”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 EURO
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 EURO
“The kids are at that age where they need their dad around,” he said EURO
“It will be good to be with them more, to provide some well-needed structure to the mob EURO
“As hard as it is being away from your family, you almost have another family EURO
“You really feel like that, especially when you’re away in camps like World Cup camps EURO
It’s five months, staying with your brothers EURO
“I’ll definitely miss the boys, the banter and all the stuff we get up to when we’re not training EURO
I’ll miss the hard work as well EURO
“And I’ll definitely miss pulling the jersey on and giving it everything EURO
