England’s Joe Marler Gave A Ridiculous Justification For This Late Hit

During Harlequins 26-21 victory over Wasps in 2015, Joe Marler had an entertaining conversation with referee Luke Pearce.

The England prop offered England’s World Cup exit as a reason for a late hit when the ref pulled him aside for a world.

One fan wrote: “Two adults, a bit of banter and a point made and taken on board . All done with humour, warmth and respect.”

“Rugby is the greatest game… with awesome people… love it,” another commented.

A third added: “This is the good thing about rugby, they actually converse with the ref rather than shout and intimidate like in football.”
