  • Marland Yarde: Rising Fast, Falling Hard, and Starting Again

    Marland Yarde: Rising Fast, Falling Hard, and Starting Again
    Apr 8 2026
    From electrifying England winger to a sudden career halt. For the first time, Marland opens up about the seismic shifts in his life: moving from St. Lucia to London, his rise at London Irish and Harlequins, and the devastating injury that nearly ended it all. He also addresses the harrowing period of being wrongly accused of rape and how he lost everything - his job, his reputation, and his peace - only to rebuild it from the ground up. Now living in Lisbon and training to be a commercial pilot, Marland reflects on accountability, fatherhood, and why he holds no bitterness. ✈️ 02:24 Pilot Life Update 🏝️ 08:57 St Lucia Boyhood 🧠 15:19 School Shift Mindset 🔁 18:09 Trials Setback Redemption ❤️ 22:08 Mum The Anchor 🏉 25:56 London Irish Academy 🃏 29:51 Choosing Harlequins 🌹 36:11 England Highs And What Ifs 🧩 41:23 Eddie Jones Mind Games 🦈 48:18 Sale Move And Horror Injury 🌒54:50 Marland’s Darkest Moment 🇫🇷 01:09:41 France Reset And Fatherhood 🧘🏿‍♂️ 01:17:42 Protect Your Peace 🌎 EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ ⁠https://nordvpn.com/goodbadrugby Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee 📗The Good, The Bad & The Rugby: Unloaded: ⁠https://lnk.to/GBRUnlocked/waterstones Learn more about your ad choices.
