Joe Marler on Tadhg Furlong, truffles and a bar room brawl against Ireland

The pair could come face to face in front row battle at Twickenham on Saturday, when Ireland take on the Red Rose on their home patch in the Six Nations.

Marler admits to being a massive fan of the world-class Wexford loosehead, and they got to know each other on the Lions tour to New Zealand five years ago.
