🏉 Rugby fans, brace yourselves! Former England prop Joe Marler is contemplating a shocking return to the field. Despite retiring twice, the 35-year-old rugby star is feeling the itch to be back in the mix. With an impressive 95 caps for England and 286 appearances for Harlequins, Marler admits he misses the camaraderie and the thrill of game day. 🏆
Chatting candidly, Marler shared his excitement for the upcoming Autumn Internationals, highlighting the young energy in the England squad. He acknowledged the fresh approach the team is adopting, infused with the experiences from the recent Lions tour. Could this signal a fiercely competitive Six Nations ahead? Only time will tell!
However, Marler’s focus remains firmly on England, cheekily embracing the “arrogant Englishman” tag while still cheering on the other home nations against southern hemisphere teams. 🇬🇧
In a surprising twist, Marler expressed his desire to have former England head coach Eddie Jones, affectionately nicknamed “The Beaver,” join him in the studio as a rugby commentator. Their past collaborations were filled with mutual respect, with Jones praising Marler’s influence on the pitch.
Beyond England, Marler is urging Wales to bring back former Harlequins teammate Adam Jones to help steer Welsh rugby through some challenging times. He believes the legendary scrummager could play a pivotal role amidst changes proposed by the WRU.
And if you haven’t spotted him yet, Marler has been lighting up our screens on BBC’s Celebrity Traitors, describing it as one of the most bonkers experiences he’s ever had!
With Marler’s passion for the game as lively as ever, could a rugby comeback be on the horizon? 🤔 Keep your eyes peeled! 🏉✨
