George Ford kicked all of England\u2019s points with a display to shift the mood and instil a sense of belief.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Everybody was saying: \u201cUnbelievable win, unbelievable\u201d but we\u2019ve had belief all this time,\u2019 prop Ellis Genge insisted. \u2018We\u2019ve had some bad press over the last few weeks and a lot of noise from outside but we\u2019ve stuck to our guns and we know where we\u2019re going.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s all: \u201cRight, you beat Argentina\u201d and people are celebrating. But we\u2019re not relieved. We want to win the World Cup and we\u2019re doing the same thing every week. This is what we\u2019re aiming for, every single week. Consistency, consistency. We said we were building and nobody believed it. I believe we can win this World Cup. Of course I do, otherwise I wouldn\u2019t be here. We\u2019re going to go again every week.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The victory was all the more impressive because flanker Tom Curry was sent off in the third minute. Curry will face a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday\u00a0for a dangerous high tackle on Juan Cruz Mallia.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/10\/22\/75274595-0-image-a-7_1694382577064.jpg\" height=\"802\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>England prop Ellis Genge believes his side can go all the way and win the Rugby World Cup<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/10\/22\/75271307-0-image-a-8_1694382663289.jpg\" height=\"525\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>England overcame a troubled period of warm-up preparations to win their opening game 27-10 against Argentina<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/10\/23\/75275021-0-image-a-22_1694383256653.jpg\" height=\"361\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Steve Borthwick&#8221;s side lost to Fiji for the first time ever in their final warm-up game before the tournament<\/p>\n<p>If found guilty, the \u2018entry point\u2019 for a ban would be six weeks, but a relatively clean record, guilty plea and the option of going through so-called tackle school could see the sanction reduced to two weeks, meaning he would be free to play again by the last pool fixture against Samoa in Lille on October 7.<\/p>\n<p>However, there may be the chance of the red card being rescinded by the panel.<\/p>\n<p>England\u2019s disastrous warm-up series was rocked by red cards for Owen Farrell and Billy Vunipola but the team were ready to ride out the storm on Saturday. \u2018We\u2019ve had a fair amount of practice of playing with 14, mate,\u2019 said Genge. \u2018I think we grew an arm and a leg, didn\u2019t we?<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I don\u2019t think we needed that performance \u2014 I don\u2019t think we needed anything. As I said, we know where we\u2019re going. We\u2019ve got beliefs.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There was not one second in the last few weeks that I\u2019ve thought, \u201cWe\u2019re in trouble here\u201d. I honestly haven\u2019t. I know that\u2019s hard to believe but I haven\u2019t felt like that at all. I\u2019m not saying we\u2019ve cracked it by any sense but it\u2019s a step in the right direction. I\u2019m not naive and I know that. I don\u2019t think we were desperate for it. Like I said, we\u2019ve been chipping away, doing our graft, and we\u2019re confident. We\u2019ve been doing the work, so we can be confident.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>England\u2019s players collectively hailed Ford after the victory, lauding their mastermind No 10 who kicked 27 points, including three drop goals.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/10\/22\/75271503-0-image-a-9_1694382680080.jpg\" height=\"498\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>England were reduced to 14 men early in the first half after Tom Curry was sent off for a dangerous high tackle on Juan Cruz Mallia<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/10\/22\/75271531-0-image-a-10_1694382683191.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Curry will learn his fate in regards to suspension on Tuesday evening\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/10\/22\/75271325-0-image-a-11_1694382687958.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>George Ford kicked all 27 of England&#8217;s points in the victory in Marseille\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He\u2019s an unsung hero,\u2019 said Genge. \u2018He goes about his business quietly and does his work. That bloke is always last off the field. He\u2019s one of those who does his kicking every day and all his recovery.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I\u2019ve given him some hard times over the years because he doesn\u2019t let loose that often but look at the rewards he gets. He scored every point we had. He\u2019s a serious operator. He\u2019s had that since he was 16 when he made his debut for Leicester. He\u2019s an unreal player and he showed his class \u2014 and class is permanent. You saw that.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018When your backs are against the wall and it\u2019s not going right, everyone thinks you\u2019re the worst player in the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018They probably wanted him out.
