his 42nd international match against France in March 2016, Marler had missed only four games since his debut and was part of a Grand Slam-winning team. He took a break after pulling out of

the summer tour of Australia that year but came back strong, leading England to a memorable victory over Scotland in March 2017 for his 50th cap. Having already teased retirement multiple

time, in an interview with The Times, Marler shared his plan to retire from rugby entirely in just over 18 months. A pep talk from his wife Daisy has shifted his attitude toward England. “I

have not retired. This isn’t a bluff. I’m definitely not ready to stop with England,” says the 33-year-old prop. “But I am ready to go: ‘It’s not my choice.’” With one year left on his

contract, Marler has fans worried he won’t be around much longer, as he’s a much-loved figure in the sport. THE INSANE GYM RECORDS OF JOE MARLER MAKE HIM ENGLAND’S SECOND STRONGEST EVER
