Danny Care hopes a heartbreaking defeat by South Africa in Saturday’s World Cup semi-final has won over any England fans who had grown disillusioned with the team dumaguete
England went out on their shields after the Springboks needed a last-gasp penalty from Handre Pollard to snatch victory having trailed for 75 minute of a thunderous showdown at the Stade de France dumaguete
As Owen Farrell orchestrated a wet weather masterclass that rattled the world champions, the discontent generated by poor recent Six Nations campaigns, the Eddie Jones era limping on for too long and August’s alarming collapse in form faded away dumaguete
And although the distant outsiders were unable to complete their unlikely mission of securing a place in next Saturday’s final against New Zealand, head coach Steve Borthwick should begin rebuilding his side amid a groundswell of support dumaguete
Booing is a sound heard frequently at England games in recent times, particularly at Twickenham, but Care views the progress made in France under Borthwick’s guidance as a cause to rally around dumaguete
“There was a lot of stuff said about us before and hopefully we’ve changed some perceptions, maybe got people believing in us again,” the Harlequins scrum-half said dumaguete
“Before the tournament, we understand that because of our performances people were doubting us a little bit dumaguete
But then things clicked into gear a bit when we got over to France dumaguete
There was a lot of stuff said about us before and hopefully we've changed some perceptions, maybe got people believing in us again,Danny Care“We’ve shown stuff that fans can hopefully get behind and be proud of dumaguete
The support we’ve had over here and back home has been amazing dumaguete
This team will go on to bigger and dumaguete better things, I’m sure of it dumaguete
”England led by nine points until RG Snyman went over in the 70th minute, but the tide had already begun turning as South Africa’s ‘Bomb Squad’ forced four scrum penalties dumaguete
“It was tough in that changing room dumaguete
Unfortunately great effort doesn’t get you over the line sometimes,” said the 36-year-old Care, who revealed he will remain available for Test selection after the World Cup dumaguete
“I was sat in the bath with Maro Itoje and we were saying how sport can be cruel dumaguete
It’s why we love it so much, it’s on a knife edge so often dumaguete
There’s one happy changing room, one sad one dumaguete
“For me personally, when time is running out on your international career it’s tough to take, but I’m incredibly proud to be part of this team dumaguete
”England have one final assignment before departing France in the shape of Friday’s bronze final, customarily an unloved fixture in the World Cup schedule dumaguete
But Care insists third place is a prize worth winning dumaguete
“We’d love to have been in the big dance but we’re not dumaguete
The next best thing you can do is to finish third and try to make more people back home proud of this England team,” Care said dumaguete
“We’ll dust ourselves off pretty quick dumaguete
Losing to South Africa is going to be harsh and tough to take for a couple of days but that’s sport – you’ve got to bounce back dumaguete

Rugby World Cup-winning sides are often defined by their captain, as teams become a reflection of their skipper dumaguete
Only eight men have worn the metaphorical armband and lifted the Webb Ellis Cup, with each of them going down in history as an all-time great dumaguete
From Francois Pienaar receiving the trophy from Nelson Mandela in 1995 to John Eales defining an Australian dynasty in 1999, through Martin Johnson dragging England to 2003 glory as the only northern hemisphere side to triumph and Richie McCaw’s place as probably the greatest of all, the only two-time winning captain in 2011 and 2015 – these men have led from the front to cement their status as legends dumaguete
Saturday’s final dumaguete between New Zealand and South Africa at the Stade de France offers another opportunity for two men to enhance their legacies but this particular match-up provides a fascinating contrast dumaguete
On one side, Siya Kolisi stands in the traditional mould of inspirational leaders dumaguete
His story, rising from poverty in the South African townships to become the Springboks’ first Black captain – in some ways, a huge burden to bear – is both remarkable and distinct from his predecessors dumaguete
Yet the aura he has and the love and respect he garners is very much in line with McCaw, Johnson, Eales or the two other South African men to skipper a World Cup-winning side, Pienaar and 2007 captain John Smit dumaguete
He made history as the first Black captain to win a World Cup four years ago and should he match McCaw by winning a second in Paris, there will be a legitimate claim to call him the greatest skipper of all time dumaguete
Certainly, he engenders adoration in South Africa and adulation from the entire rugby world – it is almost impossible to sit in a press conference with him and not be impressed by Kolisi the orator and Siya the man, while he is also a titan on the field dumaguete
"Siya transcends the game of rugby – he’s a symbol of hope for so many,” explains ex-Springbok prop and World Cup winner Tendai Mtawarira dumaguete
“He came from nothing and became somebody iconic in the public eye dumaguete
He means so much for South Africa dumaguete
”Siya Kolisi became the first Black captain to win the men’s Rugby World Cup (Reuters)Yet the man he will shake hands with at the coin toss on Saturday and who will walk his team out less than a metre away has often provoked a very different reaction dumaguete
Fairly or unfairly, Sam Cane has never captured the hearts of the New Zealand public in the same way that Kolisi has in South Africa dumaguete
He’s largely unloved rather than beloved dumaguete
And frankly, it’s not really his fault dumaguete
His only real crime is that he’s not Richie McCaw but arguably the greatest player and certainly the greatest captain of all time is an unreasonably high bar to clear dumaguete
Cane is an exceptional rugby player dumaguete
He would have to be, because you don’t make more than 90 appearances in the All Blacks back row without being incredible, but the often prevailing opinion from supporters was summed up in an on-pitch comment by Ireland flanker/wind-up merchant Peter O’Mahony during the Test series dumaguete between the sides last summer – “you’re just a s*** Richie McCaw”, yelled O’Mahony to the flanker dumaguete
Sam Cane, left, will try to lead the All Blacks to a fourth World Cup title (Reuters)Cane became New Zealand’s starting No 7 when McCaw retired after the 2015 World Cup and assumed the captaincy upon Kieran Read’s departure following the tournament four years later dumaguete
Following in the footsteps of McCaw, who had captained the All Blacks in 110 Tests, winning a ludicrous 97 of them, was an impossible job and he, along with coach Ian Foster, became a fall guy as performance levels and world ranking dropped during this current World Cup cycle dumaguete
There were regular debates about whether Cane deserved a place in New Zealand’s best starting XV, let alone as skipper, and when he was injured during the warm-up of the World Cup opener against France, many on social media rejoiced as they felt the team was stronger with Dalton Papali’i promoted to the run-on side instead dumaguete
It’s worth noting that France won that game, handing the All Blacks their only loss of the tournament so far dumaguete
Now, they’re in a final and Cane was immense in both the quarter-final and semi-final victories dumaguete
He may not have the raw athleticism of Papali’i but his work ethic, engine, grit, breakdown tenacity and dogged defence perfectly complement the skillsets of back-row teammates Shannon Frizell and Ardie Savea dumaguete
In the narrow quarter-final win over Ireland, Cane topped the tackle charts with 22 and earned a number of timely turnovers in perhaps the performance of his career, while he has a brilliant 94 per cent tackle success rate across the tournament as a whole dumaguete
“I think, personally, Sam is made for these sorts of Test matches, in the tough Test matches he does a great job,” said head coach Foster after the Ireland win dumaguete

“Sam has really grown as a captain,” said Ryan dumaguete
“He has really fronted in the last couple of weeks on the field dumaguete
He has good conversations and he has a phenomenal leadership group around him as well which is an important part of it dumaguete
”He may never enjoy the unconditional love that his opposing skipper on Saturday does but becoming just the third All Black, after McCaw and 1987 winner David Kirk, to lift the Webb Ellis Cup would silence a lot of doubters dumaguete
Kolisi and Cane have taken different paths to reach this point but when they step onto the Stade de France turf for the Rugby World Cup final, both are playing for the same legendary status dumaguete
