The English have waited four years to banish the nightmare of the last World Cup, and Jamie George believes they could go all the way in Japan.

File: People are reflected of the logo of the Rugby World Cup 2019 in Tokyo.MIYAZAKI, Japan - Leaner, meaner and better prepared than for their disastrous 2015 World Cup, England have the tools to capture rugby's top prize, hooker Jamie George warned Sunday.

"The messages have been sort of drilled into us for the last four years really. When first came in, he said to you and he said to us that we're here to win the World Cup in four years," he added.England, who in 2015 famously became the first hosts to crash out of the World Cup's group stage, have been drawn alongside France and Argentina in Pool C.

"We're not thinking too far ahead. Everything that we're focused on is on ourselves, mostly this week - and we'll look ahead to Tonga next week."Jones has said he wants his players to be ready for North Korean missiles, earthquakes and even bad sushi. "During training here obviously the humidity is pretty high. Regardless of whether we play with the roof on or off, we're not too bothered about it."
