BBC Breakfast speaks to rugby fans in France<\/h3>\n

England\u2019s Rugby World Cup stars have been banned from taking a single sip of alcohol throughout their tournament, after starting with an impressive 27-10 victory over Argentina on Saturday. George Ford kicked every point for Steve Borthwick\u2019s 14 men as Tom Curry was sent off after just three minutes.<\/p>\n

The team did not celebrate by going out for a drink, however, as prop Ellis Genge revealed that the team have all agreed to go tee-total during their time in France. Holding up a bottle of coke and insisting that no beers will be drunk over the next few weeks, the 28-year-old insisted that they can go all the way and win a second World Cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not relieved,\u201d Genge admitted after victory over Argentina. \u201cWe want to win the World Cup and we\u2019re doing the same thing every week. It\u2019s about consistency. This is what we\u2019re aiming for. We said we were building, but nobody believed it. But I believe we can win this World Cup. Of course I do. I wouldn\u2019t be here otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the ban has not been made formal, veteran Dan Cole emphasised how he did not expect anyone to stray from the path after the team\u2019s pledge. \u201cWe\u2019ve always been reminded about the importance of trust,\u201d Cole told The Telegraph.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you f*** up, you\u2019re out, basically. So, nobody f***s up. Or at least, they make a conscious effort not to. People have varying approaches to their evenings; some are more laid-back, others more professional. It\u2019s about finding what works for each individual.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fresh off his 27 kicked points, Ford is taking a different approach to his team-mate and refuses to get carried away ahead of remaining group stage games against Japan, Chile and Samoa. \u201cIt\u2019s about having the mindset to get better, to improve,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat one performance doesn\u2019t make you the finished article. Not by any stretch of the imagination. It\u2019s a good start for us, but we have improving to do. We\u2019ll get back to Le Touquet and start preparing for the next game against Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ford kicked two drop goals in the win over Argentina and revealed how the team have been working on their efforts in training, perhaps with one eye on emulating Jonny Wilkinson and his iconic kick to win the World Cup for England back in 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter every session we\u2019re doing drop goals\u201d Ford continued. \u201cIt\u2019s part of what we do. It\u2019s such a crucial and critical weapon at times, especially considering how we\u2019ve all seen how influential they have been at (previous) World Cups.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been laughing in the changing room. Out of the squad, Danny Care was the guy with the most drop goals for England. So I thought \u2018that\u2019s not right. I need to put an end to that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
