preview

Skip to contentRugby NewsTop NewsJoe Marler was suspended for two matches and fined £20,000 by World Rugby in 2016 following his ‘gypsy boy’ jibes in the England-Wales game during the Six nations.Speaking to Victoria Derbyshire on BBC 2, Billy Joe Saunders added that he had discussed Marler’s comments with Tyson Fury. Both were ‘disgusted’ by Marler’s remarks.“In our culture we’ve had this most of our lives. It’s not been so bad in the last few years. When you receive abuse on social media from Twitter and Facebook trolls it’s not so bad but when you receive it in sport it’s not acceptable.“I’ve had it all my life but I’ve never had it in my sport from another sportsman. I was a fan of rugby and now I probably won’t watch England play rugby anymore.“Now other people might think twice about using the term in an offensive way. There is no room for any racism is sport; especially at the standard that he is playing. I was talking about it on the phone to my friend Tyson Fury last night and we are both disgusted by it.“I think Tyson wanted to get him in the ring and knock him out.”England prop Joe Marler is never afraid of sharing an opinion or two – especially when it’s about someone he doesn’t particularly like.Over 1,000 days since Folau&nbsp;last played a professional match of rugby union,&nbsp;Marler’s old Twitter sparring partner made his return to the sport over the weekend.The loose-head prop takes any chance he can to call out the former Wallabies fullback, who could soon 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.”Pages:Ruck LifeRugby VideosRuck LifeRugby NewsRugby News2023 Rugby World Cup newsRugby NewsRugby NewsTop NewsRugby NewsTop NewsRugby NewsTop NewsRuck.co.uk: the leading rugby union news and content network delivering you the latest news, views and all the moves in Rugby Union.bloggers like this:
