Why did Joe Marler call Samson Lee a ‘Gypsy boy’?
In his first broadcast interview since being banned and fined for his "Gypsy boy" comment towards Samson Lee during the Six Nations, England prop Joe Marler speaks to Sonja McLaughlan about the "lack of professional control" he's shown in recent weeks.
Marler received another two-match suspension for kicking Grenoble's Arnaud Heguy in the head last month and is now working with a sports psychologist.
"I need to get a grip," he said. "I don't think it was anyone else's fault but my own.”
The full interview will feature in 5 live rugby at 21:00 BST on Thursday, 12 May.
