England lifted by Euro vision

CARE WANTS TO RECREATE RYDER SPIRIT

- Alex Spink

ENGLAND are taking inspiration from Europe's Ryder Cup heroes into the business end of the Rugby World Cup.

Danny Care revealed that the spirit shown by Luke Donald's band of brothers had left a lasting impression on him and his team-mates in France.

"The way they hung in together, fought for everything, those little half points they saved, we definitely take inspiration from those lads," said the scrum-half.

"They looked more aligned and close than the American team did. You could see it, you could feel it just watching on the screens, how much it meant to them.

"That's definitely something we're trying to harness. Team spirit is the reason the best are successful. I don't know many environments where you win without one."

England play Samoa in their final Pool D game on Saturday before heading to Marseille for their quarterfinal, likely to be against Fiji.
