Joe Marler has opened up on the best players he has played against during his career.

It’s fair to say, it’s a sensational selection from the England and Harlequins prop.

#1. CARL HAYMAN

Major teams Barbarians, Highlanders, Newcastle Falcons, Toulon, New Zealand, New Zealand Maori
Position Prop
Caps 45

MARLER SAID: “I played against him when he was at Newcastle and he basically Would knock **ing s**t outta ya for 80 minutes. It was like play against a prop with the fitness levels of a flanker.”

#2. RORY BEST

Major teams Barbarians, British and Irish Lions, Ireland A, Munster, Ulster, Ireland
Position Hooker
Caps 124

MARLER SAID: "Best is hard as nails and a great thrower at the line plus great in the loose. He was pretty underrated in my opinion."

DID YOU KNOW? Best followed his elder brother Simon into rugby, playing alongside him for both province and country.

#3. TADHG FURLONG

Major teams Leinster, British and Irish Lions, Ireland
Position Hooker
Caps 55

MARLER SAID: "His recent performances reminded everyone why he is rated as one of the best tighthead’s in world rugby."
