The England prop offered the Wallabies legend Drew Mitchell a wager as their respective countries prepared for their second test of their three match series this weekend.
This sort of prop didn't go well for the prop last time with Marler having to sing 'Bread Of Heaven' following a defeat of Wales.
But he's back, and more confident than ever heading into the second test against Australia in Brisbane.
Marler wrote on Twitter: "Loser walks down street, opposition jersey on top, budgies on bottom, singing opposition national anthem….. full blast, no half hearted shit?"
To which Mitchell responded gladfully: "If @wallabies lose next week, I’ll wear an England jersey on top, @BudgySmuggler on the bottoms and belting out ‘God save our Queen’ up Caxton street. May the worst man embarrass themselves haha"

Marler on Farrell: "The only indispensable player is Farrell. He is to England what Cristiano Ronaldo is to Portugal, or what Steph Curry is to the Golden State Warriors. With his leadership, ability and drive, England are a different animal. Owen takes things by the scruff of the neck, just like his dad."
