Marler refuses to milk horror clearout that has shocked Prem
Say what you like about Joe Marler, but he refused to milk this Alec Hepburn incident.
Hepburn and Sam Simmond pile driver Marler into the ground in a fairly ugly incident but Marler clearly didn’t make anything of it.
He got red carded anyway but that’s not the point.
Fair play to the brave English prop.
“It doesn’t look pretty in real time, nor in slow-motion. Exeter Chiefs prop Alec Hepburn is sent off for this reckless clear out on Joe Marler,” said BT Sport.

He seems to look over at Hepburn here. Wonder what he said. Doesn’t matter really.
They seemed to shake on it after which is always good to see.
