England prop Joe Marler has taken advantage of his summer off to get into fantastic shape to launch his bid to be a part of Eddie Jones' World Cup squad.
He now looks almost unrecognisable from a year ago when the prop had put on a few extra pounds.
An image shared by stepone.life shows that the prop means serious business this season.

5 retired rugby stars who are in the shape of their life
These retired rugby players put us 20- and 30-somethings to shame when it comes to fitness.
1. Jonathan Davies - 59
Less Guinness and more hard work has seen the former Wales star transform himself during lockdown. He looks incredible!
2. Will Greenwood - 49
The former England centre has shared a photo of his current physique and it’s impressive to say the least!
3. Matt Dunning - 42
Since retiring from rugby union the prophas lost a staggering 40kg, dropping from 25 per cent body fat to just 11 per cent. What an incredible weight loss with the Aussie undoubtedly in the shape of his life.
4. Lee Mears - 42
The former Bath and England international rugby player retired from the game due to a life-threatening heart condition. Trying to stay healthy has since became a priority and it's fair to say he's looking amazing!
5. Phil Vickery - 45
The World Cup-winning prop has transformed his body since hanging up his boots. Vickery, who won the 2011 series of Celebrity Masterchef, has recently opened his new Cheltenham restaurant, No.3, after the Coronavirus pandemic delayed first orders. He's literally half the man he used to be.
