PARIS : Steve Borthwick says he will be using the Rugby World Cup's Bronze Final as another opportunity for his players to experience playing in a big match, focussing on positivity after Saturday's gut-wrenching semi-final defeat by South Africa.
England were minutes away from reaching the final before a late try and penalty earned the Springboks a 16-15 victory, meaning England return to the Stade de France to face Argentina in the third-place playoff on Friday.
Speaking 12 hours after returning to his hotel on Sunday, the detail-obsessed Borthwick said he had already studied Saturday's game"a couple of times". Borthwick also said that he had been reading an article focusing on how to find growth from adversity and that he was confident the England team would do just that.
