England head coach Eddie Jones says that while Joe Marler"likes to play the fool" he is an influential member of the squad, backing the prop after former national coach Clive Woodward described his behaviour as"embarrassing" at the World Cup.
Woodward had compared Marler and Dan Cole to comedy duo Laurel and Hardy for their behaviour at a news conference ahead of the final against South Africa, which England lost 32-12.However, Jones told Sky Sports that Marler was simply someone who marched to the beat of his own drum. "I've never seen a bloke strength train as hard as him consistently in all my time in rugby. And then he's got certain idiosyncrasies. He likes to play the fool... but he's a very intelligent guy, great family man, great for the younger guys."
