[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 945454, member: 73144"] Here's the article. We're only talking RWC emergency, not totally reversing retirement. [URL]https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/may/29/rob-baxter-exeter-joe-marler-world-cup[/URL] That he's even willing to consider it is probably down to a combination of factors. Maybe getting off the international treadmill for a while has done him good and he's feeling refreshed, happy and enjoying his rugby again. Maybe he misses it and fancies a final blast, maybe Jones has got in his ear, maybe he's just an all round good egg who would put country before self. Truth is that there's clear water between him and Mako and our other LHs. Still doubtful if Mako will be properly fit before the tournament start, so I'd want to see Marler involved if possible. Genge hasn't quite kicked on as we all hoped and while Moon's done well, he has a lower ceiling than the others. [/QUOTE]
