no, is the answer. Marler seems to be missing the ability to engage brain before mouth or keyboard.

although if he'd said "he's a 'sounds like anchor'", he'd probably have been ok :biggrin:

That was a few days ago.
Is it alright then for Dwyer to call English players cheats?
Because that's what Marler was responding to.

I agree with Marler.

Relevance?

He is entitled to his opinion. Or is he not?

I agree with Marler.

Clearly the RFU do not. I guess You and they have different standards of what is acceptable from English international rugby players. I agree with the RFU. The higher up the ladder you are your standards need to be better. You are, of course, entitled to disagree.

He is good at this bit though: "...Marler - who immediately deleted the remark - was "extremely apologetic".

And so is Marler.

All he did was state a fact. Dwyer is a ******....I've never met a man who isn't!

He is indeed. However, he should express then in a way more becoming of a role model. Clearly he has no idea of what that is.

It's actually an opinion not a fact. Unless of course he has closer access to Dwyer than most. In which case he can defend himself by claiming to speak the truth/ fact!
