David Cameron denies being a jinx over sporting defeats

David Cameron has denied he is a jinx for England sports teams, after the rugby union, cricket and football teams each crashed out of world cups in the group stages in quick succession.

The British prime minister said claims of a ‘curse of Cameron’ annoyed him, and pointed to successes in the Olympics and the cricket Ashes against Australia which had occured under his premiership.

Cameron refused to say whether he thought England rugby head coach Stuart Lancaster should be sacked after his side’s elimination from on home soil.
