Dylan Hartley dropped from England World Cup training squad by Stuart Lancaster following ban for headbutt
England are expected to announce they have dropped Dylan Hartley from their Rugby World Cup training squad on Friday, after his latest ban for headbutting Jamie George.
Head coach Stuart Lancaster will confirm he has dropped combustible hooker Hartley from his squad when announcing the team to face the Barbarians in Sunday's Twickenham clash.
Northampton front-rower Hartley was handed a four-week ban on Wednesday night after pleading guilty to headbutting George in last weekend's Premiership play-off defeat to Saracens, taking his career suspensions tally to 54 weeks.
