Marler hit back at a tweet from former England fly-half Andy Goode telling him to ‘eat s***’<\/p>\n
Marler had been following his team-mate\u00a0Manu Tuilagi, who went over to shake Beaumont’s hand.<\/p>\n
Goode, who won 17 caps for England during his international career, slammed Marler on social media for his perceived snub.<\/p>\n
‘Joe Marler showing a lack of respect for Bill Beaumont and walking straight past without shaking his hand, sums him up really,’ Goode posted on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n
The England prop was quick to hit back, replying ‘Eat s***, w*** bucket. Let\u2019s catch up soon x’, ending his post with a lemon emoji.<\/p>\n
Marler and Goode have previously clashed online during the tournament.<\/p>\n
Goode posted ‘Marler asleep in defence probably thinking about trying to be unfunny\u2026.’ during England’s 30-24 win over Fiji in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n
‘Appreciate the feedback mate,’ Marler responded, adding ‘And give me a shout if you need a ticket for next week mate – my shout x’.<\/p>\n
Marler has been known for being one of the more unorthodox characters in the sport during his career with England and at club level with\u00a0Harlequins.<\/p>\n

Marler is among the England stars expected to retire from international duty after the World Cup<\/p>\n
The veteran prop is expected to be one of several England players to retire from international duty following the World Cup.<\/p>\n
England ended their World Cup on a high by beating Argentina on Friday, with tries from Ben Earl and Theo Dan which were converted by Owen Farrell.<\/p>\n
The England captain added a further four penalties to help see off the Pumas.<\/p>\n
