Joe Marler publicly taunts Billy Vunipola after England star comes out in support of shamed Israel Folau

Former England prop Joe Marler has done it again.

The Harlequins loose-head trolled Israel Folau earlier this week after the Australia international posted a homophobic message on Instagram.

Folau is facing the sack after his most recent anti-gay post, with Rugby Australia and the New South Wales Rugby Union announcing plans to terminate his contract.

In the wake of the furore, Marler tweeted Folau on two separate occasions with both a picture and a gif of two men kissing.

As well as targeting homosexuals, Folau also claimed "drunks, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists and idolaters" were all going hell unless they repented.

Today, England star Billy Vunipola came out in support of Folau expressing his religious beliefs and he has faced a similarly furious backlash.

Marler, quickly becoming the Batman of social media, has needed no second invitation to get involved.

This time, he's tweeted Vunipola a picture of himself staggering out of a Dublin bar in 2017, that was plastered all over the national newspapers at the time.

This, like Marler's tweets to Folau, has gone viral.
