Borthwick backs Curry after racial slur controversy calling it a 'World Rugby matter'<\/h3>\n

Joe Marler has hit back at former England fly-half Andy Goode, telling the pundit to \u201ceat s***\u201d and labelling him a \u201cw*** bucket\u201d in a social media spat. Goode lambasted Marler for snubbing World Rugby chairman Bill Beaumont while picking up his bronze medal following Friday\u2019s Rugby World Cup third-place play-off win over Argentina, producing a fiery response from Marler.<\/p>\n

Video footage emerged of several England players collecting their medals at the Stade de France before shaking hands with Beaumont, but Marler instead appeared to walk straight past the chief. World Rugby have been widely criticised for their new Nations Championship international tournament that was announced this week.<\/p>\n

Marler\u2019s reasons for the snub have not been revealed, but Goode took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to call out the England prop. \u201cJoe Marler showing a lack of respect for Bill Beaumont and walking straight past without shaking his hand, sums him up really,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

During England\u2019s celebrations following victory over Argentina and the end to their World Cup, Marler took the time to reply to the jibe as he wrote to Goode: \u201cEat s***, w*** bucket. Let\u2019s catch up soon x,\u201d accompanied by a lemon emoji as he attempted to reignite their feud. Goode replied: “Grow up Joe.”<\/p>\n

After Steve Borthwick\u2019s side had claimed a 30-24 win over Fiji in the quarter-finals, Goode, who made 17 caps for England and over 400 club appearances for teams including Leicester Tigers and Worcester Warriors, criticised Marler for his defending.<\/p>\n

On X, he wrote: “Marler asleep in defence probably thinking about trying to be unfunny…” Marler then fired back with: “Appreciate the feedback mate,” alongside a kissing emoji, before later adding: “And give me a shout if you need a ticket for next week mate \u2013 my shout.”<\/p>\n

Even though he was not named in Borthwick\u2019s squad to face Argentina as the head coach made several changes and focused on the new generation ahead of next year\u2019s Six Nations, Marler still made plenty of headlines after the match.<\/p>\n
