Rugby Player’s Interview Devolves Into Extended Metaphor About ‘Slightly Irish Horse’

Well, I just found my favorite rugby player.

His name is Joe Marler, a prop for the English national team and the club team Harlequins. Marler was part of the England squad that finished second at the Rugby World Cup earlier this month in Japan, where he delighted fans with his entertaining press conferences and with antics like his comically oversized neck pillow.

Now he’s back at home, and still delivering gold in his sessions with the media.

Marler was in attendance for Harlequins’ European Rugby Champions Cup loss to Clermont Auvergne on Saturday but not on the field.
