“Joe Marler Exits England Camp for Personal Reasons After Controversial Haka Comments”

Joe Marler has departed from the England rugby squad ahead of their autumn international match against New Zealand due to personal reasons, as reported by the Guardian. The 34-year-old prop had joined the team at their training base in Bagshot on Sunday but made the decision to leave early in the week, informing head coach Steve Borthwick of his choice. In a related note, Marler had recently stirred controversy by calling for the traditional haka to be "binned" in a social media post, which he later deleted.
