Dylan Hartley to take on England captaincy?

A number of reports claim that Dylan Hartley will replace Chris Robshaw as the new captain of England.

Widespread reports have claimed that Dylan Hartley is the leading contender to be named the new captain of England.

The position is currently held by Chris Robshaw, but it is believed that new head coach Eddie Jones has decided to make a change.

Northampton Saints hooker Hartley has had numerous disciplinary problems throughout his career, having served a total of 54 weeks on the sidelines suspended for a variety of different offences.

However, a host of media outlets have reported that Jones is an admirer of the 29-year-old, who could be appointed in the near future.

Hartley has been capped by his country on 66 occasions, from which he has contributed five points.
