England prop Joe Marler is on the verge of quitting rugby.

The Daily Mail is reporting that the loosehead is questioning if he wants to return to the game after the backlash over a high-profile indiscretion during the Six Nations Championship competition earlier this month.

England beat Wales 33-30 but Marler was caught on camera grabbing Alun Wyn Jones groin during the opening minutes of the match in Twickenham.

The incident blew up and became a talking point both across traditional media and on social media platforms.

The Welsh skipper complained about the incident and Marler was subsequently banned for 10 weeks by a disciplinary panel.

In 2018, Marler quit international rugby but came back in 2019 following a Rugby World Cup SOS call from Eddie Jones.
