Joe Marler releases condom advert in a hot tub

If you could pick any personality in world rugby to do an advert for male contraception, I'm sure Joe Marler would be the first port of call for many, this hilarious scenario has come to life on Instagram this week.

Celebrities can sometimes get stick for doing paid ads, but Marler has completely nailed it with this comedy skit for Durex. It has been received incredibly well by the sporting world, with the likes of Taniela Tupou, Tendai 'The Beast' Mtawarira and footballer Jimmy Bullard showing their appreciation for his comedy skills in the comments section.

Marler is pictured in the hot tub with a selection of condoms placed on the side. The England star begins the video by explaining how he can't 'fit into things'. For example, squeezing out of his children's play house, putting on small flip flops and riding a child's bike.

The prop goes on to further advertise the condoms, before his partner intervenes and asks him what he's doing in the hot tub.

"You know? It's where we... it's where we..." insinuates Marler.

"Are you joking?" replies his partner.

"It's all about finding the right fit for you, from experience, it genuinely makes a difference." says Marler.

"Stick to the regular then." replies his partner.

The clip over 260,000 views on Instagram in just a few days. It's no surprise either, as one of rugby's funny men has yet again got his audience in stitches.

Despite being absent from England's series-winning tour against Australia , he's managed to grab some headlines yet again!
