Jonny May has lifted the lid on England’s World Cup fines system that includes doing a run to the patisserie to buy cakes for the entire team.
The winger revealed that veteran prop Joe Marler is the fines master who oversees their kangaroo court if any players step out of line.
To help keep spirits high, the players have introduced a dice system — and May revealed that flanker Ben Earl could be next in the firing line.
‘We have dice for misdemeanours,’ said May. ‘It’s all pretty standard stuff — if you’re late, in the wrong kit. Joe Marler decides. We’ve got a patisserie run or you have to wear your suit all day, except for when we’re in rugby kit. That is a couple of them.
‘I’ve told Ben Earl if he kicks it again and I don’t score, it’s a dice-roll, but if he passes to me and I score, then I’ll roll the dice.’

Players have been given three days off to recover from the opening rounds, with three wins from three putting them on track for the quarter-finals. Some have gone to Disneyland, and winger Henry Arundell is in Paris to sort out his new house ahead of his move to Racing 92.
Arundell scored five tries during Saturday’s thrashing of Chile and May said the youngster will thrive at his new club.
‘Everybody just scattered off,’ said May. ‘Henry has gone to Racing, getting his flat and I think he has got someone putting his IKEA flat pack stuff up for him.
‘I would have been nowhere near playing at this level at 20. I don’t think I got my first cap until I was 23 and 20 is very, very different from 23 so it is incredible what he is doing.
‘I think he’s going to get lots of ball and lots of opportunity at Racing. I think he’s going to improve under Stuart Lancaster, playing in that league, getting lots of ball, playing in big games. I think that’s a great move for him. He’s 20… what more could he be possibly hoping to do right now? The world’s at his feet.’
