Hartley is converted to a Saint among the sinners

Matured hooker Dylan Hartley has learned the error of his ways but he's still ready to rumble according to Hugh Godwin in the Independent on Sunday.

"There is the long-winded approach to defining what professional rugby is about – the 138 pages of the Rugby Football Union's Image of the Game report last week springs to mind – and then there is the infinitely more digestible version from Dylan Hartley. "I still like watching a game and seeing a bit of a scrap," said the Northampton captain and England hooker. "It's a contact sport. There's collisions and things aren't always going to be friendly. You need to play on the edge with aggression and sometimes things go over. It's just a part of the game."
