England captain Dylan Hartley gave a Twitter user more than he bargained for after it had been suggested he stand down from the role to be replaced by British and Irish Lions star Maro Itoje.
User John Huyton, who describes himself as a ‘passionate England, Lancashire & Orrell RUFC expert’ on the social media platform, ventured the opinion after the 22-year-old Saracens lock’s performances against the All Blacks had caught the eye.
However, having tagged Hartley into his post, it sparked an exchange he may not have expected.
