DYLAN’S HART-ACHE

ENGLAND captain Dylan Hartley has had his season ended by concussion and will miss the tour to South Africa.

He joins Anthony Watson, Jonathan Joseph, Courtney Lawes and Nathan Hughes in being ruled out of the three-Test series in June. Coach Eddie Jones must try to end a run of three defeats with a new skipper and a much-changed squad. Hartley (left), who has not played since being concussed playing against Ireland last month, revealed that specialists had advised him to take a decent break. “While I find that decision hard to accept, it’s important I listen to that advice,” he said.
