After being named in England's team to play France on Saturday, Marler told reporters of his miraculous recovery:
"I rehabbed the hell out of [the leg], to be honest, and drank lots of milk. And that's it; my body has taken care of the rest." "It's a historical thing," he continued.

Marler's leg will truly be put to the test when he scrums down against 24st 6lb French prop Uini Antonio at Twickenham this weekend.
