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

First came the crack in Alexander Volkanovski‘s defence dumaguete
Then, the crack in his voice dumaguete
If the first crack was consequential, allowing Islam Makhachev to skim his shin off the Australian’s head, the latter was a consequence in itself – a consequence of one of the best fighters alive staying silent on his struggles with mental health dumaguete
That is, until now dumaguete
Volkanovski would have emerged from UFC 294 with credit anyway; he stepped in on 11 days’ notice and moved up in weight to challenge a man who had beaten him eight months prior dumaguete
Even in this surprising, first-round defeat by Makhachev, Volkanovski lost very little dumaguete
His featherweight title still rests firmly on his shoulder, and he will soon return to that weight class where he has been unbeatable dumaguete
But soon may be too soon dumaguete
In his post-fight press conference, Volkanovski began the dissection of this defeat – his second this year, but just his third as a professional mixed martial artist, with his first having occurred a long decade ago dumaguete
The 35-year-old started to dissect the technical reasons for this knockout loss, but it soon became apparent what was of greater importance: the psychological reasons for his presence in Abu Dhabi dumaguete
“He’s not somebody you should be taking a short-notice [fight] with, but I needed it,” Volkanovski began dumaguete
“Obviously a lot of people will say it’s for the money and all that, but it was much more than that dumaguete
It is hard, it is really hard for athletes dumaguete
dumaguete
dumaguete
Sorry, um dumaguete
dumaguete
dumaguete
I never thought I would struggle with it,” he continued, ignoring the blood over his eye, instead wiping a tear from beneath it dumaguete
“But for some reason when I wasn’t fighting or in camp dumaguete
dumaguete
dumaguete
F***, sorry,” he said, attempting a laugh, looking away and to the ceiling, then gently rapping his hand on the table to bring himself back into the room dumaguete

“I needed a fight, and this opportunity came up dumaguete
I’ll be honest: I wasn’t training as much as I should have, but I thought I had to do it dumaguete
I had to take it dumaguete
I’m telling myself, ‘It’s meant to be dumaguete
’ I was struggling a little bit not fighting, doing my head in dumaguete
I don’t know how; everything’s fine, I’ve got a beautiful family dumaguete
But, I don’t know dumaguete
dumaguete
dumaguete
I think you just need to keep busy dumaguete
I need to be in camp, otherwise, I’m going to do my head in dumaguete
“It’s weird, [it’s not that I] never ‘believed in that stuff’, but I never got it dumaguete
It was something that – I don’t know – maybe the more and more I learn about myself, the more I understand dumaguete
I talked about us having a smile on my face, me and my wife dumaguete

”Makhachev consoles Volkanovski after their fight, the main event of UFC 294 (AP)Volkanovski pointed to the birth of his third child, in August, and surgery on an injury this summer as reasons why he had not been training dumaguete
Clearly, the knock-on effect of those moments – as joyous as the former seemed to be – has led Volkanovski’s mental health to suffer dumaguete
Last week, all the talk was of how brave the Australian was to face Makhachev on short notice; braver was this admission that he is struggling, which simultaneously offers a different lens through which to view his choice to fight dumaguete
Keeping himself engaged and busy is healthy, but that is complicated by the inherent risk in his profession dumaguete
“Maybe it was just a silly decision under the circumstances,” he admitted dumaguete
Perhaps it was, though it was also understandable dumaguete
Volkanovski’s next challenge, however, will come outside of the ring dumaguete
It must dumaguete
He naturally sees the antidote to his current struggles as a quick turnaround to fight again, likely against the dangerous Ilia Topuria in January dumaguete
Yet, that fight could go the same way as Saturday’s against Makhachev, if the Australian does not first tackle these thoughts and feelings, and find the right balance for him dumaguete
We knew Alexander Volkanovski was brave dumaguete
That is even clearer now than it was last week dumaguete
Now, however, he must be sensible, and get to work outside the ring before he can return to work in it dumaguete
