Marler to miss Bok clash

Marler to miss Bok clash

England prop Joe Marler is set to miss Saturday’s Test against the Springboks because of a knee injury.

Marler sustained a medial ligament tear in England’s defeat to Australia last week. Alex Corbisiero is set to start at loosehead in his place this Saturday at Twickenham.

Coach Stuart Lancaster has also suggested that centre Jonathan Joseph and flank Tom Wood could start against South Africa.

    Alex Corbisiero is a better player, Lancaster is as blind as HM when it comes to talent. Also can’t understand Johnson starting at 6, must be better loosies with a English, in fact I think one is playing in Toulon.

    Not good news for Jannie. The converted cannibal that replaced him on Saturday looks like a monster.
