No family or booze bans for Johnson's team

England manager Martin Johnson has insisted he has no need to restrict players' access to their families or instigate an alcohol ban during the World Cup in New Zealand.
The infamous 'WAGS' (Wives and Girlfriends) disrupted the preparations of England's footballers at the 2006 soccer World Cup in Germany.
But Johnson's experience as a Rugby World Cup-winning captain in Australia eight years ago tells him the presence of partners can benefit a player's on-field form.
