Hooker biting

[AtW]

England hooker Dylan Hartley is facing another long ban after being cited for biting Ireland flanker Stephen Ferris during Saturday’s RBS Six Nations match at Twickenham.

The 25-year-old Northampton captain must now wait for a hearing to be convened, knowing that the punishment, if he is found guilty, is likely to end his season and once more cast a disciplinary shadow over his career

He has been cited by match commissioner Alberto Recaldini of Italy under IRB Law 10.4(m) for ‘acts contrary to good sportsmanship’. The recommended sanction for wrongdoing of this nature is a minimum 12-week suspension for a ‘low-end’ offence, rising to 24 weeks or more for an incident considered to be in the ‘top-end’ category.

If guilty then it should be the maximum and permanent loss of England place

Me too.

However seeing as it is what it is.

Far better players lost their place on the England squad for behaviour issues (on or off the pitch) He needs to be sacked from the squad while theres time for them to find the replacement. Shame really, but we need a team that can remain in control on the pitch.

You obviously don't know AtW very well.

Dylan Hartley is a nutter. If it wasnt for the linesmen and TV cameras he would have been a thoroughly nasty and damaging individual.

I usually have to pay extra for that service.
