"The B**lock" - Joe Marler's hilarious nicknames for England teammates
Rugby NewsWednesday, 19 January 2022 at 13:24
Arguably the funniest man in rugby, Joe Marler has a brilliant section of his autobiography detailing some of his favourite nicknames he has given to teammates down the years.
To find out the full story behind each of the brilliant nicknames you can buy Marler's new book here.
One funny example from the book is the name 'Colar Bear' for his good friend Dan Cole due to his 'cuddly nature'.
See what we think are the five funniest below.
#1. Joe Launchbury (Slosh, Sloshbucket, or Biscuit)
"He has the biggest arse in world rugby - and was forever knocking things over."
#2. James Haskell (The Unflushable Turd, Rig City)
"Despite being embroiled in a number of off-the-pitch controversies over the years and falling foul of various regimes, the unflushable turd has repeatedly bounced back."
#3. George Kruis (Shnooze or Shnoz)
"Because his chat is so boring it will make you fall asleep"
#4. Mark Lambert (Smug Pig)
"Not only did he act like he was all superior, he had a reputation for really, really enjoying his food."
#5. Matt Cairns (The Bollock)
"Another simple one. He has a shiny bald head that look like a shiny, bald, bollock."

- 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
