What does the future hold for the exciting teenager who could play for Ireland, South Africa or even France?
As an underage friendly, the match does not commit Anagu’s international future to Ireland. He is eligible for South Africa and could represent France if he stays at La Rochelle for long enough.
Marler allegedly referenced Heenan’s mother - subsequent footage of the incident suggests the unsavoury comment was repeated multiple times -, leading to a mini-brawl as players had to be separated.Unsurprisingly, a familiar debate on sledging and how “the game’s gone soft” has raged since Marler was disciplined. The majority seems to be of the opinion that comments about family members have no place in the game.
Marler has previous on this front; he called Samson Lee “gypsy boy” in 2016 and two years ago grabbed Alun Wyn Jones by his genitals in the middle of the match. Yet despite the RFU publicly acknowledging that they took into account his previous poor record, which is not supposed to lead to a mitigated ban, Marler’s slap on the wrist was brought down from six weeks to two due to remorse.
