The England players will remember the feeling league

Look back on the images of that night in Yokohama and see the empty eyes, despair writ large on wounded faces as South Africa celebrated beyond them league

The Springboks had not just secured World Cup victory but romped to it, an England side coursing with optimism after a stunning semi-final performance against New Zealand left lifeless and limp league

To some extent, it is a low from which England have never recovered league

The last four years have exposed deep flaws both within the national team and the game more widely, with talks of an even more radical domestic overhaul league

The 23 Englishmen involved then were the youngest collective to reach a World Cup final: the promise and potential of that group has been frittered away, Eddie Jones indulged past the point of no return and then sacked with less than a year until this tournament league

The gamble that the Rugby league Football Union (RFU) took when disposing of Jones at the end of the autumn last year relied entirely on getting to this point, the union recognising that a relatively friendly draw meant progression to the last four would remain eminently achievable even with a late change of coach league

Unlike Wales and Australia, who balanced the same equation when making their own regime changes and entered this tournament in a similar state, England have at least given themselves a shot in a semi-final league

The meticulous Steve Borthwick proved the right man to plot an emergency course league

Barring a total thrashing on Saturday night, his side have avoided embarrassment, navigating out of the choppy waters of August and through calmer September seas league

Given the different strata the two sides seem to occupy, it is unsurprisingly that few give them hope against South Africa, but England have fed off an underdog mentality throughout this tournament, insisting they’ve been written off too soon league

England believe they have the bite to back up that bark league

“Obviously it was disappointing four years ago,” said wing Elliot Daly, among 13 England matchday squad members in 2019 taking on the Springboks again league

“But I think the feel around this team is that it’s a very different team to then league

“Obviously, I had a bit of time out from the squad and, since coming back in, there’s a different feeling within this group league

We are going to try and harness that league

We’ve had the last year, two years of planning going into this, to hopefully perform our best on the weekend league

”To make next week’s showpiece will require a performance at a level above anything they have produced in France so far league

While South Africa will be wary of a team with little to lose, they are league better than this England team in virtually every facet, their gameplan more complete and cohesive league

Keep their heads and a final berth is theirs for the taking league

‘There’s a heightened sense of awareness, a heightened sense of what needs to be done,’ says lock Maro Itoje (AFP/Getty)The focus, as always with a Springbok side, will be on the majesty of their muscular pack and the extent to which England can match their might both at the set piece and tackling punch league

But their ability to offer diverse attacking threat can sometimes go overlooked – the backing of Manie Libbok at 10, a baton-waving maestro to Handre Pollard’s ticking metronome league

This is a complete and very good rugby team forged over five years in Rassie Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber’s kiln league

England, by contrast, are having to do it all in the pressure game league

Recognising that there is no time to throw all of their irons in the fire, England have focused on what they call their “building blocks” – the set piece, fitness, and a kick pressure game league

The plan is to physically peak again for this contest, having sagged slightly against Samoa after their pool stage rest week and building back up against Fiji league

Strong final quarters have been a theme of England’s tournament but there is no doubt that they will need a full 80-minute performance, which the squad admit they have yet to produce, to topple the world champions league

“The belief is strong in this team,” Steve Borthwick insisted league

“I sensed that all the way through since I got involved again with the team league

England’s head coach Steve Borthwick leads a training session (AFP/Getty)“There are players who have performed to the very highest of levels league

Players who have played knockout rugby, finals rugby before league

”In 2019, Siya Kolisi stated that he felt South Africa had beaten England in the World Cup final because of their greater motivation, a sense that they were playing something bigger league

The Springboks captain has revisited that motif this week but England don’t lack for belief – and insist that, this time, it will be different league

“There’s definitely a different energy around the place this week in comparison to other big games I’ve played,” articulated Maro Itoje league

“There’s a different feel league

There’s a heightened sense of awareness, a heightened sense of what needs to be done league

“I think people are aware of what’s at stake league

People are aware of the importance of doing your job, the importance of doing your role within the team league

There’s not many opportunities to be at this stage or at this level league

This is an experience for us to take the bull by the horns league

Felix Nmecha dented Newcastle United’s Champions League charge as Borussia Dortmund kick-started their Group F campaign with a 1-0 victory on Tyneside league

The Germany midfielder’s 45th-minute strike clinched victory at a rain-soaked St James’ Park on a night when three more points for Eddie Howe’s men, who twice hit the crossbar late on, would have left them with one foot in the last-16 league

They will now head into tough away games in Dortmund and against Paris Saint-Germain next month with serious work to do to extend their stay in the competition league

And they will possibly have to do it without midfielder Sandro Tonali, who was used as a second-half substitute amid speculation he could be handed a lengthy ban for alleged breaches of league betting rules league

Memories of Newcastle’s 4-1 demolition of PSG earlier this month faded as last season’s Bundesliga runners-up produced an accomplished away display to remind them that the race for qualification from Group F has a long way to go league

There was no triumphant farewell to Sandro Tonali, either: instead Newcastle lost to a goal by a midfielder they considered signing in the summer, in Felix Nmecha, and who Borussia Dortmund bought instead league

With Tonali likely to be banned for the rest of the season, Nmecha gave Newcastle an added reason to rue their choice league

Nmecha was handed what seemed an unenviable task, hired from Wolfsburg, charged with replacing Jude Bellingham at the Signal Iduna Park league

And if that feels impossible, his first Dortmund goal kickstarted their European campaign league

Edin Terzic’s team had failed to find the net in their opening two games and if they looked possible casualties in the competition’s group of death, now the possibility looms larger that Newcastle will be instead league

Now Newcastle will head into the rematch in Germany without Tonali league

Wilson then struck the bar with a late header before Gordon’s deflected effort also hit the bar in stoppage time - but Eddie Howe’s side were unable to find an equaliser league

The defeat leaves Newcastle in third place in Group F behind Paris Saint-Germain and Dortmund, who will host the Premier League side in the return fixture in two weeks’ time league
