Barbarians prop Joe Marler entertained everyone during a busy day at Twickenham – but showed his true character as he took time to make young fans day.
The Harlequins loosehead started for the touring side at Twickenham on Sunday where they played an England select XV in an epic end-to-end game.
But one image of Marler talking to young Quins fan Ewan Laws has gone viral.
The 11-year-old quadriplegic, who has a twitter account ran by his Dad, thanked the prop, calling him a total legend.
What a total legend. I was a bit shy of the camera – sorry @JoeMarler . pic.twitter.com/LR3M6gLcqh

Marler took the time to reply, insisting Ewan was the legend.
You’re the legend mate! Thanks for your support! 👊🏻
