Hartley not ready to quit

DYLAN HARTLEY has not yet given up hope of somehow making it to the World Cup — and the recent England captain is not about to quit. The 33-year-old hooker has not played in 2019 because of knee problems but Chris Boyd, his director of rugby at Northampton, said: ‘Dylan’s mentally resilient and he’s optimistic about playing again. He’s not going to hang up his boots. He’s still got the bit between his teeth.’
