Joe Marler reignites Sir Clive Woodward feud with 18 word tweet

England prop Joe Marler is never afraid of sharing an opinion or two – especially when it’s about someone he doesn’t particularly like.

Woodward tore apart Eddie Jones 2019 World Cup final side during a webinar, slamming Marler and fellow prop Dan Cole for their behaviour in a press conference prior to the game.

This wasn’t the first time the 2003 World Cup-winning coach called out the prop.

After reading an article on the Rugby Pass website highlighting Woodward’s comments, he tweeted him directly, saying: “Change the record Sir Clive – you should be grateful you can ‘milk the cow’ for another 3 years.”

Woodward had said: “Honestly, I sat there and it was like Laurel and Hardy. I’m going, ‘I know they’re on the bench but this is 48 hours from the World Cup final’. It was to me poor and that is me being polite. It was really poor,” Woodward said.

“South African journalists came up to me after these two had finished larking around after 20 minutes – it wasn’t larking around, it was embarrassing – and said, ‘well if that’s the mood in the England camp we have got half a chance’.

Marler has since reignited the feud once again earlier today.

Following Woodward’s article that referred to Twickenham as the “world’s largest pub” earlier this week, Marler tweeted.: “If you’re at Twickenham today, be sure to heed SCWW advice and refrain from having too much fun……”

THREE PLAYERS JOE MARLER CAN’T STAND:

#2. Israel Folau

The loose-head prop takes any chance he can to call out the former Wallabies fullback, who has since gone onto represent Tonga, for his homophobic views.

In a series of tweets sent directly to Folau, Marler attached pictures and GIFs of men kissing, in a display of defiant humour which was praised by fellow players and LGBTQ fans alike.

Marler later named Folau in his dream team in a tongue-in-cheek fashion.

On selecting Folau as his fullback, Marler commented, “On the night out, after we had played our match on the Saturday, I’d take him out in Brighton to The Blue Oyster… a couple of clubs.”
