Zero-tolerance the right way forward?

The Daily Telegraph's Gavin Mairs talks to Graham Henry about his misgivings over Stuart Lancaster's approach to discipline.

"Graham Henry, New Zealand’s World Cup-winning coach, has warned England’s interim coach, Stuart Lancaster, that his zero tolerance approach to ill discipline in his squad will end in failure.

Delon Armitage became the latest player to fall foul of Lancaster’s crackdown, when the London Irish full-back was expelled from the England Saxons squad on Monday following his arrest for alleged assault in a Torquay nightclub in the early hours of Sunday.

Harlequins scrum-half Danny Care, who had been expected to rival his Leicester counterpart Ben Youngs for a place in the England starting line-up to face Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday, was also dropped from the senior elite squad last month following his arrest for drink driving on New Year’s Day."
