Call me an arrogant Englishman but I only care about our lads

MARLER'S ROSE-TINTED SPECS
JOE MARLER is among the Traitors at the moment in the eyes of the TV viewing public.
But when it comes to the national team, the England rugby union legend is the staunchest of the faithful.
Marler is just five short of 100 England caps. At 35, a year after retiring, he even has his eye on a comeback to boost that tally.
He remains a player-welfare manager with the national side and has joked that England's lads were his only priority this autumn, not other home nations.
"I'm not really bothered and I will still continue to have that view of 'I only really care about the English boys' - and that will push the narrative of the arrogant Englishman that I am," said Marler.
"Of course I want all the home nations to thrive, I do. If all the home nations beat all the southern hemisphere teams, I'm on board with that and hopefully that arrogant Englishman tag will reduce slightly."
