Glad to see marler back in center stage - an england legend who actually has a personality

[@championthewonderhorse9733]

No doubt a big and entertaining personality, just a shame about the incidents of him bullying and abusing others on the pitch.

[@frostysfreeway2320]

Not somebody I would have in my team and more to the point, definitely not somebody I would have in my changing room. Offers nothing in the scrum at international level and has been found out multiple times.

[@IAMJEFFREY-cw9ns]

@@championthewonderhorse9733 He bullies those who can't fight back. Let him try that with an Eben Etzebeth or Duane Vermuelen or any of the South Africa squad and he'll get slapped up. But as I said, he picks on the weak😀

[@sapef]

I love to see this two characters, very funny. They are wrong, these isn’t their last World Cup, I believe they both must be in the next World Cup squad just to keep watching them making jokes on the others teammates.

england rugby listening to sexy red in the gym is something I did not expect to see wth

[@callumhornigold1961]

While I love these two, there’s a tinge of sadness to it. Potentially our starting props, in their twilight years, yet the best we have to offer. Not their fault, they’re both legends, but there’s been a huge hole of fresh talent coming through. It’s gonna take at least 4 more years to even begin to see some light. RFU sort it out FFS.

[@jakemiddleton5266]

Feels to me like it is more of a coaching selection and a Premiership issue. A lot of front-rowers starting who aren't English. And those that are weren't consistently selected for England. From 2019 onwards there were a lot of who got in for a little, but never claimed their place. Big rebuild coming after the World Cup

[@championthewonderhorse9733]

Starts with borthwick who has chickened out and gone with veterans when he could have gone with youth and vitality and new ideas. Just another terrible, dull and boring England rugby coach.

Marler and Cole are lovely guys. As people you cant dislike them. But unfortunately, both are well past their sell-by date at the top level...and they shouldn't be in the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 squad for this WC. We will all get behind the lads for the tournament...but its more in blind hope than any sense of expectation.

[@2011hwalker]

This squad seems more concerned with "da banter" than actually achieving anything at the World Cup. Reminds me of the England team in 2011 WC, where Haskell seemed more interested in dropping impressions that focusing on performance. Ireland, SA and French teams seem like far more serious outfits.

[@SupaSeb09]

Great past servants for England but nowhere near test level quality, Dan Cole looked at 6s and 7s in the Fiji game compared to other teams even say Japan, all 3 of their front rowers offer something in attack and the only thing Marler offers is grabbing someones snatch.

[@NTL578]

I can't put my finger on exactly why, but of everything I've seen and heard for the last year or so, this got to me the most. I understand they aren't supposed to be locked in the hotel all day and having a laugh is important, but do these two look like world champions to you? Do any of them? They clearly have no thought at all about winning it and are there just to enjoy their retirement lap. Its not supposed to be a testimonial for these aging players. Good to know they're all buzzing about playing golf and that the food is good. Marler, in particular doesnt seem to be taking one bit of it seriously. The only one who seemed to be giving it some, and seemed in the zone was Farrell.

[@Kkpb-fh5vt]

I ABSOLUTELY couldn’t agree more.

[@jonnybaynham1689]

Jack in 2016 they were jovial and undefeated. Look at Hasks repeated trolling of Farrell that year. You're seeing 10 minutes of their preparation process. There are problems with what's going on, but the 10 minutes you see here isn't a problem. If there was an Irish series I'm sure they'd be showing some jovial. Miserable, serious players still doesn't output great teams

[@NTL578]

@jonnybaynham1689 I've got to be honest though it's not just this time, it's every time, and they make a point of saying it every press conference. Wigglesworth said in the presser today that he basically didn't care what anyone, including the fans, thought, and they just wanted the players to be happy and have fun. Anyway we're at the start of the big show now. Fingers crossed, come on England.

[@frostysfreeway2320]

If we think using Marler and Cole to market and further widen interest in our game, then we are in deep sheet. We need proper personalities in the game and for the majority of these players to retire. How the hell Adam Radwan has been left at home is beyond me. There is nobody in this current Engalnd backline who can do what he can....strike fear into the opposition. There is a cohort of folk who keep quoting mysterious defense/arial frailties which are bogus when you look at his real stats. Shocking omission but looking at this team he's dodged a bullet. We need whoever is running the NFL/BNA marketing etc to come in and save our sport. It is being managed by amateurs

[@thewomble1509]

No, not the Yanks, never!!

[@championthewonderhorse9733]

@@thewomble1509 Except they have taken a game played in fewer than 30 US cities into a worldwide and multi billion dollar sporting enterprise. While rugby is mired in controversy, head injuries, red cards, mysterious penalties around the ruck and scrum that no one understands, reduced interest in Australia and England, and is almost entirely reliant on New Zealand to make it a global game (they are supplying over 40 players to teams other than the All Blacks at this RWC!)
