Dylan Hartley
Really?:
April 2007, banned for 26 weeks after being cited for eye-gouging Wasps forwards James Haskell and Jonny O'Connor.
March 2012, received an eight-week suspension after being cited for biting the finger of Ireland forward Stephen Ferris while playing for England in a Six Nations game.
December 2012, banned for two weeks after being cited for punching Ulster hooker Rory Best during a Heineken Cup match.
May 2013, sent off for verbally abusing referee Wayne Barnes during the Aviva Premiership final against Leicester at Twickenham. Received an 11-week suspension that sidelined him for the British and Irish Lions tour to Australia which he had been selected for.
December 2014, sent off for elbowing Leicester centre Matt Smith in the face. Banned for three weeks.
May 2015, banned for four weeks after headbutting Saracens hooker Jamie George in Northampton's 29-24 Aviva Premiership semi-final defeat to Saracens. As a direct consequence, England ruled Hartley out of their World Cup plans.

" Something new has to be tried evidently! "
Yes, but players like him, as good as they may be, are a liability. They cost you points from penalty kicks and by leaving you a man down when they get sent off.
The captain's role, amongst other things, is to be a role model and an ambassador for the team. He's neither. |
