Jonny May has lifted the lid on England\u2019s World Cup fines system that includes doing a run to the patisserie to buy cakes for the entire team.<\/p>\n
The winger revealed that veteran prop Joe Marler is the fines master who oversees their kangaroo court if any players step out of line.<\/p>\n
To help keep spirits high, the players have introduced a dice system \u2014 and May revealed that flanker Ben Earl could be next in the firing line.<\/p>\n
\u2018We have dice for misdemeanours,\u2019 said May. \u2018It\u2019s all pretty standard stuff \u2014 if you\u2019re late, in the wrong kit. Joe Marler decides. We\u2019ve got a patisserie run or you have to wear your suit all day, except for when we\u2019re in rugby kit. That is a couple of them.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019ve told Ben Earl if he kicks it again and I don\u2019t score, it\u2019s a dice-roll, but if he passes to me and I score, then I\u2019ll roll the dice.\u2019<\/p>\n

Flanker Ben Earl could be the next England player to face a dice-roll under the fines system<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0Some have gone to Disneyland, and winger Henry Arundell is in Paris to sort out his new house ahead of his move to Racing 92.<\/p>\n
Arundell scored five tries during Saturday\u2019s thrashing of Chile and May said the youngster will thrive at his new club.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Everybody just scattered off,\u2019 said May. \u2018Henry has gone to Racing, getting his flat and I think he has got someone putting his IKEA flat pack stuff up for him.<\/p>\n
\u2018I would have been nowhere near playing at this level at 20. I don\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n
\u2018I think he\u2019s going to get lots of ball and lots of opportunity at Racing. I think he\u2019s going to improve under Stuart Lancaster, playing in that league, getting lots of ball, playing in big games. I think that\u2019s a great move for him. He\u2019s 20\u2026 what more could he be possibly hoping to do right now? The world\u2019s at his feet.\u2019<\/p>\n
