What would RC say if one of our players were convicted of an incident like the one Hartley is accused of? "The game's gone soft", and he would be right.

This was not a during the process of playing a contact sport.
This was a cheap shot after the whistle - I am all for the big hits and the contact, but there is no need to ruin the spectacle of the game we love by being a thug.
for those defending hi, if even Saints fans have had enough of him and want him replaced as their captain can you not see why people think he should be moved on from England, especially given the quality of English hookers around atm with both Bath Hookers, more Webber tbf, and George at Sarries

Slow down Gall you may come from too from "The Home of the Game" but the hearing in Coventry is at 19:15 hrs. So give the Judge time to place his wig & black cap and Dullen's QC to apply his make-up.
Normally results announced about 22:00 but certainly after all Stains & Lancasters know.

So will miss all warm ups and Fiji game. Able to play 5 days before Wales game. This will force Lancaster to show his hand on where he stands on Hartley and on on field misdemeanours in general.
