- England prop says incident at Harlequins ‘scared life out of me’
- Marler admits to ‘burying head in sand’ over risks to his health
The England rugby union international Joe Marler has revealed he once had “no recollection of having kids” shortly after taking a blow to the head during a game.
Marler has said the incident “scared the life out of me”, but admitted he still “buries [his] head in the sand” over concussion fears. The Harlequins prop has spoken out after the former Wales captain, Ryan Jones, revealed his diagnosis of early-onset dementia last weekend.
