England and Harlequins prop turned podcast star and rugby's most unfiltered voice
RugbyJoe Marler is rugby's unlikeliest media star, a front row forward who spent a decade ruining scrums for a living and somehow emerged as one of British sport's most entertaining broadcasters.
Marler played more than 300 times for Harlequins and won 95 caps for England, appearing at three World Cups and playing a central role in the 2019 run to the final in Japan. He was a scrummaging specialist at loose head prop, an old fashioned bruiser with a technician's brain, and his duels with Tadhg Furlong and the world's best tight heads became must watch theatre. He announced his retirement from the international game three times before anyone believed him.
What lifted Marler beyond rugby was the personality. The mohawk, the pink beard, the fake wedding ring, the willingness to say the exact thing nobody else in the sport would. His BBC podcast The Joe Marler Show has become required listening, and his interviews with everyone from Eddie Jones to Prince William have gone viral more than once. He treats rugby the way Saturday Night Live used to treat American politics, with respect and complete irreverence at the same time.
Today Marler is a full time broadcaster, author of the bestselling Loose Head, and a fixture on the British speaking circuit. Audiences get the honest version, the one you did not hear at the post match press conference.
