Dylan Fartley full of beans’ – Jones

Hartley full of beans’ – JonesEngland head coach Eddie Jones hailed captain Dylan Hartley for his focus and determination after their recent training camp in Brighton.
Hartley, 31, has been skippering a rocky ship at Northampton, which has added weight to calls that Jamie George should come into the side.
But Jones had nothing but admiration for how Hartley's conducted himself at club and country and backs him to continue to lead by example.
"Dylan came into camp full of beans," Jones told Sky Sports News. "It has been a tough time for him. His club's not doing well, unfortunately his director of rugby was asked to leave, which makes it a difficult place for a captain.
"He's carrying a lot of responsibility which has probably affected his on-field performances for Northampton, but he has come into camp and been good.
"The good players, and Dylan's a good player, are able to compartmentalise issues. That's an issue he has with his club, he doesn't have it with England. What we saw in the England camp was a different player to what we've seen for Saints."
He added: "I pick on historical form, current form and potential form. For each player it's a balancing act.
"Dylan's a great leader for us – if he wasn't he wouldn't be in the team. That's been proven by his record. I don't think there's any Test captain for England in rugby or cricket that has his record."

Hartley needs to clean up his act.
