Hartley is really hoping for a showdown with a KFC dinner bucket- it's the only teary showdown he'll be winning this weepy Sunday evening

I really do think the English scrum will be dominant on Sunday - it is our only chance to control the game so I certainly hope so! Hoping for a repeat of last year!
If I was Lancaster I'd pick Hartley because he is the more destructive scrummager of the two options - fingers crossed!

I really hope he plays. Absolutely deplorable character and I'll take a lot of joy in watching him get smashed.He can just count himself lucky Ferris isn't around to dish out some proper retribution

Really hope England play Hartley, you just know he's gonna spend 10 minutes in the bin.

I don't think it would be a bad selection. He'd add a bit more to the scrum. Also best etc clearly don't like and try to goad him, which could be a welcome distraction if he can keep his cool

Good god that last little line, it is a bit like Bernie Madoff giving advice on financial regulation!
So Dyaln what do you look forward to most? Standing up in every scrum? You have done the biting, the punching? What next?
I hope Lancaster does play you, because you are the most oe dimensional hooker playing at test level today. Nothing in your locker but strength and aggression. No subtlety, no skill and most tellingly no class!

No chance dylan, he is nowhere near the level of hooker that best is. Rory arguably the best hooker in the world and all dyaln wants to do his cause penalties and foul players.
Dylan is a thug and rory is a true rugby players. Plus he had nothing on youngs at the moment.

Bring on the haters! Personally I'd prefer Hartley to Youngs. I think Youngs still has too much to learn about the technical aspects of playing hooker and the international stage is not the place to learn those lessons. Plus I lie a player with some bite. No pun intended. Having said all that Best was awesome last week and I don't think either Youngs or Hartley will get the upper hand!

Hartley is a waste of space, will be lucky to be on the plane let alone make the team. Best will beast him.

bone-headed english (!) git shooting his mouth off vs. quiet understated ulsterman who does his talking exclusively on the pitch. i don't really care what the result is on sunday but i deffo know which one i want to see in the B&I Lions 2 shirt come june

I'm not sure whether I want him to be the lions starter or not - he's a fantastic player when he keeps his cool and his lineouts are much, much, much better than best's or youngs', on the other hand we don't need him out there losing his cool and playing badly or getting sent off...not to mention best is very good in the open field aspects of the game...it's too tough for me to call, if I were Gatland I'd try both before the first Aus test to see which one works better with the rest of the team.

Hartley will be second to Best. (see what i did there?) But i am glad they are worried about the choke tackle. Haskell is the wrong player for this game. We need low lumps; T. Youngs must start. He's a great short ball carrier. Cole needs to do some carries and most importantly they need to steer around the forward concentrations when they carry. Off load quickly or go to ground fast. Support runners must come in quick to get the drive on as Ireland try to hold them up. Tuilagi of course is another great carrier for this game. Those forwards will be exhausted trying to choke tackle 13 line of attack. Brown; dont carry in this game. Run into space but not into traffic. Kick before they get you. Very winnnable if England do not do what Wales did.
