George awaits hakalash after Marler 'grenade'

- ADAM HATHAWAY

JAMIE GEORGE fears Joe Marler's haka taunts could backfire against England at Twickenham this weekend.

Prop Marler sparked outrage in New Zealand with his social media posts claiming the challenge should be 'binned, with cultural leaders and politicians taking offence.

Marler (inset) left camp on Monday, for personal reasons, ahead of whipping up the storm and is not playing against the All Blacks in the first autumn international.

England are unsure if the veteran will be available for the other Tests but George is wary Marler could have riled the Kiwis up and his side will be left to feel the heat.
