Despite being one of the most likable England stars of the modern era, Joe Marler did occasionally hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
#1. Marler vs Azerza
Both players were red carded by referee Wayne Barnes, who saw the incident unfold right in front of him, with Leicester prop Marcos Ayerza head butting Marler, who then retaliated with a few seemingly well placed punches in 2011.
#2. Marler vs Haskell
England teammates but Premiership rivals James Haskell and Marler scrap on the field before making up after the game in 2017. What could have been quite a nasty incident was quickly sorted.
#3. Marler vs Vickers

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
