The brilliant nicknames Joe Marler has given teammates in his autobiography
1. Joe Launchbury (Slosh, Sloshbucket, or Biscuit)
“He has the biggest arse in world rugby – and was forever knocking things over.”
2. James Haskell (The Unflushable Turd, Rig City)
“Despite being embroiled in a number of off-the-pitch controversies over the years and falling foul of various regimes, the unflushable turd has repeatedly bounced back.”
