Saints captain Dylan Hartley, talking to the Daily Telegraph's Brendan Gallagher, has fired a cheeky parting shot at team-mate Chris Ashton following his move to Saracens
"Dylan Hartley, the Northampton captain, has questioned Chris Ashton’s decision to leave Northampton for Saracens, although the England hooker says there will be no lingering animosity when the pair meet at the national side’s Six Nations training camp on Monday.
Ashton watched Saints’ thumping defeat after being left out of the side in midweek, a decision which prompted him to storm out of a training session.
“It is his decision,” Hartley said. “The reason I signed again for Saints is that I don’t think there is any other place I would want to be as a young Englishman. I’m very happy here, but all the best to him. I will still be his mate.”
