Totally. That first geezer with his absolute twaddle, was unbelievable. Joe should've just told the twat, he refuses to answer anyone who doesn't ask a straight question.
Marler is a proper madlad, He should have done way more press conferences - he damn entertaining. Rugby HQ should hire him to be their spokesman when he retires.
You have to love Joe - what a great character to present to the press! And this is from a respectful Irishman - England are a dark horse here! All the best chaps 👍
@@shonunezekiel here is wishing mate - I see England overcome Fiji, despite the summer defeat - however, if Fiji actually turn up, unlike their last game v POR, well England could be in for a bash!! Never underestimate our South Sea Island monsters! Speaking of monsters! ABs are pissed off with Ireland and out to prove a point, it is going to be gnarly and obviously physical - but i think the ABs have the emotional edge here - i look forward to being corrected and an IRFU win, we shall see - best of luck England and Fiji, may the best team win :-) Marler still is a class act!!!
So, he's not just a joker in interviews. He comes over as an intelligent and articulate man - enjoyable to listen to. I like the way he has a little pause and think, before answering some questions. Dan Cole also comes over very well - no cliches; unlike many footballers.
Great questions. Good shout Joe. Question 1, “do you think you are coasting?” Joe, No! Question 2. “Do you think Fiji 🇫🇯 are coming into the 1/4ers to have their tummy tickled?” Joe, are you taking the piss?
You have to love Mr Marler! He makes a lot of sense and comes across as one of the wisest and most self aware players out there. But if you ask him garbage questions you deserve a garbage response
The 2nd guy didnt even ask a bad question, as an England fan I was curious how Smith's mindset for big matches would effect his first ever QF appearance, Marler and him are quite close so it made some sense. The first guy with his 2 questions was WOEFUL and horrific tho.
I only have a surface level understanding of rugby and came to know Joe Marler through his podcast, which I thoroughly recommend. What a lad, humble, funny, curious. Seeing these two handling the press is a sight to behold. 😄 I think it's a good thing players stand up for themselves. Congratulations on a great performance in the Cup!
Cole is admittedly handy in the scrums, but he cant run and is very slow to react during open play (always the last to arrive at rucks). I pray Sinckler starts over him against SA.
AB fan. Love Big Joe Marley, he is part of the fabric of the game, part of what makes rugby so good. Hope he goes well this weekend. He is one bloke I would love to bump into in a pub and have a pint with.
I dont know squat about rugby.. but just watched England vs Fiji.. and man was that fun! So much action ! Marler is a damn unit! Im gonna watch the rest of the World Cup for sure.
Chaotic? Hardly! Marler got asked stupid questions to start with and he treated them with contempt they deserved. When better questions came in he gave good answers.
If you're prepared to ask dull questions, don't be disappointed when you don't get an exciting answer. Marler is not chaotic here at all. He actually comes across very well, speaks truthfully and simply doesn't have time for the shit questions.
The first 'interviewer' was a proper bellend. Maybe he now realises that, when you're asking questions to highly experienced and world class rugby players, bumbling through "My First Book of Obvious Interview Questions" just doesn't cut it. Joe Marler handled it all with aplomb, and Dan Cole's laughs just out of shot said it all. Respect to both of them for putting up with this nonsense.
The english media are bloody obsessed with Smith, they obviously forgot how it played out last 6 nations remember the French game ffs. Jeez they were well lucky with the pool they ended up in
Wales fan here! People don't seem to realise that someone can have a personality separate to the performances in their occupation? 😂 What species do you imagine pro rugby players are- clearly not human. He clearly gave stupid answers to stupid questions. Especially, to a press that has created a frankly nasty rhetoric around England & certain players. All the press really want is something to write about anyway. The questions that were insightful and genuine, both answered sincerely & professionally :))
Fascinating little moment at the beginning. I think Joe was firstly annoyed by the fact that the journalist diminished the significance of the game by calling it “quite a big game”, then patronizingly dismissed their previous efforts against Chile (who the journalist also insulted by explicitly stating that they didn’t provide a “tangible” challenge) and then gave him a series of presumptuous statements about his own assessment of the England team (rather than questions) which ended with “haven’t you?” and “can’t you?” I can understand why Joe was irritated. Admittedly Joe behaved rambunctiously but it was the journalist who was being arrogant. Joe meanwhile defended the honour of his team mates, and the integrity of his previous opposition (Chile). It sounded like journalist had already written an article and wanted Joe to provide exactly what his article needed. He was essentially telling Joe what to say. Personally, I love sports people who don’t provide mundane answers. Some character? Yes please!! Afterthought: Perhaps I should be commending the journalist for inspiring Joe’s interesting side!
Marler and Cole give the best interviews. No faking about. No typical TV answering like "yeah we done well". Hope the next generation of players don't hold back and just say what they want to say 😎👌
I think Fiji has a good chance to put pressure on this team, they do have a lot of stars but so as Fiji's emerging stars. The story of two stars, one fading the other emerging. Bring it on, let's GO!
Must be honest some of these questions are ridiculous. I can understand these two want to take the Mickey out of these journalists. I can imagine how they must crack themselves when they get to the rest of the players
In fairness it was a really stupid question by the reporter. I presume he spent time thinking about the question he would ask and that was all he could come up with? What was he expecting? I think Marler did exactly what most players would like to do when asked a stupid question.
Having been at a Q&A for a movie screening last night, I know that it is hard to ask good questions. But bloody hell. If you're a journalist.. Do you have to ask such bloody formal questions to two front row lads.
This team embody 'no one likes us and we dont care' and i love it. If they do go all the way which is a huge ask it will be more impressive sporting achivement than the Mighty Ducks.
The fact you say they don’t care is obvious and can be seen every time they go on the pitch. I’m just wondering what you love about how these guys are playing rugby.
These two will front up against the Boks this weekend. That'll be in no doubt. Not sure they'll able to sustain it, but be under no illusions they'll give it a right go! Swing low, baby! 🏉
Hahaha enjoying these answers, Joe as a fellow Brightonian is a funny guy. I think some of his on field antics are a bit stupid but hopefully he's more sensible inna world cup semi.
It's one thing to say "we want to win the World Cup because it'll make our nation look good" , but it's another thing to say that "we need to win this World Cup because it's the last hope that our nation has. We need to unify on a common ground." This was the the difference in the mindsets. Rugby - once regarded as a white man's game is now embraced all across South Africa as the "beloved sport" regardless of creed or colour. The difference between England and SA was "how badly do you want it?
Inane, badly prepared questions deserve to be exposed …. too many precious ‘prima donnas’ in the press room, who’ve had a ‘sense of humour bypass’! Bravo Joe & Dan, go well in the QF 😊
He talks a lot and cracks jokes (almost none of them are funny though he probably thinks he is😏) but he's definitely not world class. Joe Marler and world class don't match😉 When it comes to world class props, one thinks of Tadhg Furlong, Steven Kitshoff, Vincent Koch, Taniela Tupou not this big mouth😂
When he got decent questions about Smith he answered them politely, honestly and with good detail. I would be very suspicious of a prop who did take fools gladly...
Warriors both and both will be needed today, semi final or semi Radrandra???. Come on England- Paris in the rain looks better for a semi for England and SB is a genius- Arundel in for semi on bench and Steward back at FB, no idea who will be 10???? Basic game plan works in wet and England will squeeze France and get to NZ in the final- I believe. An Irishman, a Welshman and a Scotsman walk into a pub - the Englishman was still in France watching the rugby.
If that first journalist thinks his questions deserved any more than the disdain with which Marler gave them, he needs a reality check!
Go on Joe! its about time someone stood up to the media's bully tactics
Joe should have got up and give that idiot a bloody nose, who was that asshole anyway!?
Completely agree
👍
Chaos? Hardly but Marler is quality at dealing with mundane questions.
Totally. That first geezer with his absolute twaddle, was unbelievable. Joe should've just told the twat, he refuses to answer anyone who doesn't ask a straight question.
There is a type of question you shouldn’t ask Mr Marler.
Marler is a proper madlad, He should have done way more press conferences - he damn entertaining. Rugby HQ should hire him to be their spokesman when he retires.
I'd say he's a right good laugh to be around 😂😂
One of the big problems World Rugby has at the moment is that we don’t have enough characters like Joe in the game at the moment.
He's not PC enough for the suits
Joe Marler … absolute Legend … All Press conferences should be like this when stupid questions are asked … 😂
love how wound up the press get when they dont get the answer they want
Marler just taking the mick
Typical snotty inglan attitude
Really professional outfit this England shower.
@@Mo-yd8xcWhat I love is that TH-cam actually offered me a translation to your comment, so I could read it
Your press gives your team such a hard time. It's time they got a little back.
You have to love Joe - what a great character to present to the press! And this is from a respectful Irishman - England are a dark horse here! All the best chaps 👍
And to you. - your team is amazing - a Northern Hemisphere clean sweep this weekend would be quite something!

You too mate, smash the all blacks tonight!
I love Joe Marler too.
But England a Dark horse? Lol, i spat out my coffee.
@@frankvandermerwe1487 Dont be picky. We are more like a dark pit pony.
Joe with a dont give a fuck attitude and dont give me bullshit questions, it even had Dan cracking up 😂
They both are very close mates

Spot on
The first two reporters asked terrible questions, Marley just responded accordingly.
The 2nd guy didnt even ask a bad question, as an England fan I was curious how Smith's mindset for big matches would effect his first ever QF appearance, Marler and him are quite close so it made some sense. The first guy with his 2 questions was WOEFUL and horrific tho.

Props and press conferences....explosive mix!😅😅
There should be a new law in the game that says Props must take all pre game press conferences
We are lucky to have guys like these two on our team.
Cole has done very little to justify his selection.
Cole is admittedly handy in the scrums, but he cant run and is very slow to react during open play (always the last to arrive at rucks). I pray Sinckler starts over him against SA.
We might be shit at rugby, but at least we've got Joe Marler. There's not many characters like him.
Jesus they aint that bad 😂😂😂
As in a ignorant prick ?
Just cos we are not the best does not mean we are shit. Very unfair comment.
@@havoccarter32 true - you are not as bad as chile , very close to it though
Just wish he could play Rugby
AB fan. Love Big Joe Marley, he is part of the fabric of the game, part of what makes rugby so good. Hope he goes well this weekend. He is one bloke I would love to bump into in a pub and have a pint with.

Great!
Same here brilliant
Chaotic? Hardly!

Two absolute legends of the game.
Dnt know bout legends😂
I’m Welsh but Joe Marler is one of my favourite players. Makes me laugh
Very funny 😂
Yes he does look pretty stupid
Me too ,but yes he even has hwll
@@garethdavies9848 What is hwll ?
@@johnlewis9745it's humour in Welsh
I can't help but like Joe he says it like it is, and Dan Cole comes over very well.
Joe, never change! Absolute legend 😂😂
how is that tosser a legend, wtf
You're right always admired his passing skills for a Prop the game needs more characters like him
@@kyalmassey2493 Joe's much needed soul food aye
Never come out either.
He will take his secret
To the grave !! 🎉🎉🎉
If you're prepared to ask dull questions, don't be disappointed when you don't get an exciting answer. Marler is not chaotic here at all. He actually comes across very well, speaks truthfully and simply doesn't have time for the shit questions.
If you ask fatuous questions you deserve a Joe Marler answer. 😂
Yeah, now that Eddie has gone home, great to have JM still around. Legends
Well done Joe. Bonehead questions from the press deserve the answers they get. Nice one.
Listening to Joe is always entertaining, and likely to be my highlight of this World Cup performances unfortunately.
The first 'interviewer' was a proper bellend. Maybe he now realises that, when you're asking questions to highly experienced and world class rugby players, bumbling through "My First Book of Obvious Interview Questions" just doesn't cut it. Joe Marler handled it all with aplomb, and Dan Cole's laughs just out of shot said it all. Respect to both of them for putting up with this nonsense.
Marler is genuinely a good dude though.. I honestly laugh and give a little cheer every time he comes off the bench to get involved!!
The racist sexual abuser?
Joe Marler is a G. The man is comfortable in his own skin and doesn’t need to pretend to be anyone else but himself. Salt of the earth. Fucking legend
I wouldn't say he's salt of the earth. Arrogant maybe like most rugby players. Posh boys
"it's more tangible" Legend!!!
Indeed
The english media are bloody obsessed with Smith, they obviously forgot how it played out last 6 nations remember the French game ffs. Jeez they were well lucky with the pool they ended up in
Smith is so overrated
Journalists do ask bloody stupid and pointless questions though. There needs to be more people like Marler who show them up for what they are.
I absolutely love Joe Marler 🤩 He is hilarious 😂 Go Joe 🩵 XxX
What a legend, Joe Marler.
He's the big brother we all have and or need and want.
Wales fan here!
People don't seem to realise that someone can have a personality separate to the performances in their occupation? 😂 What species do you imagine pro rugby players are- clearly not human.
He clearly gave stupid answers to stupid questions. Especially, to a press that has created a frankly nasty rhetoric around England & certain players. All the press really want is something to write about anyway.
The questions that were insightful and genuine, both answered sincerely & professionally :))
These 2 are a comedy show! Every bodies waiting for a punchline ! Like really England bring these two to front up to a pre match press conference!? 😃
“Were they sneezes”? “Bless you”!
😂😂😂
Imagine a presser with Joe and Eddie in it, there must be one somewhere 😂😂
Had no idea Marler was such a character lol what a legend
Look up his pod casts he’s very entertaining
Joe is great for rugby, it’s a game full of characters that are muted by ‘professionalism’
Fascinating little moment at the beginning. I think Joe was firstly annoyed by the fact that the journalist diminished the significance of the game by calling it “quite a big game”, then patronizingly dismissed their previous efforts against Chile (who the journalist also insulted by explicitly stating that they didn’t provide a “tangible” challenge) and then gave him a series of presumptuous statements about his own assessment of the England team (rather than questions) which ended with “haven’t you?” and “can’t you?”

Personally, I love sports people who don’t provide mundane answers. Some character? Yes please!! Afterthought: Perhaps I should be commending the journalist for inspiring Joe’s interesting side!
Please explain the background of the Andy Question at the end...?
Ooohhh that first journalist folded like a deckchair, and fair play to calling out Andy Goode, the Piers Morgan of rugby! LOVING this!!!
I love this,we need more of this please 😂
Marler and Cole give the best interviews.
No faking about. No typical TV answering like "yeah we done well".
Hope the next generation of players don't hold back and just say what they want to say 😎👌
JOE MARLER IS AMAZING! LOVE HIM FROM A SPRINGBOK FAN!
Just wished Joe would sign in Toulouse for 1 or 2 seasons. Love the character, love the player.
This guy cracks me up. Clearly high IQ. Brings a bit of realness and humour to the absurdity of a rugby press conference. Wish he could run faster.
The difference between a Irish and English press conference is craaazy 😂
Ireland is a much better side, not arrogant like these pork chops
@Shnayblayengland are a joke rugby team. Ireland beat SA... england didnt
..that is another difference.
Please ask about the fight between Arundel and Farrell ?
Joe Marler Lol what a crack up😂
As a fijian bro that sneezing part got me😂😂😂😂😂
Wanting to see some more headers from big Joe 😂 what a boy
Never in all my days thought I'd be on the hunt for England merch, but is the shirt Dan's running available to the public?
I think Fiji has a good chance to put pressure on this team, they do have a lot of stars but so as Fiji's emerging stars. The story of two stars, one fading the other emerging. Bring it on, let's GO!
The answer to the first journalist 😂
I didn't understand that- could you explain?
That bloke was distraught by the end of his question :)
@@daddystu7046 ah no sorry, I got confused- I didn’t understand the final question/answer. The Andy Goode one?
@@ElliotG89 I meant that first press-guy. Seemed like he went through something during the course of his question :)
Kiwi here. This bloke is an absolute champion, wish him all the best. Why are rugby journalists such effing knob ends?
The genius and on the dot realtime comments!!! Only props are able to do that!! Brilliant!!!
Anyone know where Joe got his hat from?
What was the comment about Andy Goode? Totally missed that one!
Must be honest some of these questions are ridiculous. I can understand these two want to take the Mickey out of these journalists. I can imagine how they must crack themselves when they get to the rest of the players
Great guys ! Will be sorely missed !!!
Would love Joe and Dan to launch a comedy tour when they retire!
Big Joe , have to just enjoy the banter of the lad , it keeps it real , old school type of chap.
I’ve never seen such a chaotic press conference.
I love how pissed off they get when he doesn't say what they want him to
"Is everybody happy to be in the knockout stages?" What a stupid question. No, they're not.....they're devastated.......kin ell.
Way he drank that water was intimidating
in itself
Does ANYBODY know what that First question was about? I think he even confused himself
Well, if only he could walk the walk as well as he talks the talk! He's going to be folded like a pretzel by any Springbok prop this coming weekend.
This comment hasn't aged well eh ?
@@PhilLewis-xg7iv Nope, it hasn't - hats off to Marler - he was impressive.
I hope the team "perform and do themselves justice and proud" too - because the England team as a collective haven't in this World Cup at all.
In fairness it was a really stupid question by the reporter. I presume he spent time thinking about the question he would ask and that was all he could come up with? What was he expecting? I think Marler did exactly what most players would like to do when asked a stupid question.
Scotsman, and I love Marler. Top, top bloke
Ahahah, I'm french but always liked Marler. Absolut unit, and funny as shit
I think we should start requiring a vetting system for questions at press conferences, because jeez...this was painful
Having been at a Q&A for a movie screening last night, I know that it is hard to ask good questions. But bloody hell. If you're a journalist.. Do you have to ask such bloody formal questions to two front row lads.
No wonder these guys won the 2023 World Cup. Absolutely class outfit.
Amazing ability to keep a straight face.
I love this guy so much. His podcast is gold.
This team embody 'no one likes us and we dont care' and i love it. If they do go all the way which is a huge ask it will be more impressive sporting achivement than the Mighty Ducks.

It’s quality from Marler as usual.
These reporters should be fired for asking such poor questions...Joe Marler is top
It’s in my contract 😂😂
LOVE Joe Marler. We’ll miss him when he’s not in an England shirt.
Laughing like little girls , I’m welsh 🏴 these pair shoujd be on stage ,,,, marler respect all journalists pmsl ,, class
Big Joe is quality, a top world prop and runs rings round the press. The press guy had the proper hump.
He talks a lot and cracks jokes (almost none of them are funny though he probably thinks he is😏) but he's definitely not world class. Joe Marler and world class don't match😉 When it comes to world class props, one thinks of Tadhg Furlong, Steven Kitshoff, Vincent Koch, Taniela Tupou not this big mouth😂
What were you thinking 4 years ago!? Ayyy?
Bro this guys hilarious 😂😂
When he got decent questions about Smith he answered them politely, honestly and with good detail.
I would be very suspicious of a prop who did take fools gladly...
Warriors both and both will be needed today, semi final or semi Radrandra???. Come on England- Paris in the rain looks better for a semi for England and SB is a genius- Arundel in for semi on bench and Steward back at FB, no idea who will be 10????

An Irishman, a Welshman and a Scotsman walk into a pub - the Englishman was still in France watching the rugby.
These self important journalists that think their opinion matters and start a question with a monologue like the first question...well handled Joe.
Joe Marler must do every press conference everywhere for everyone.
