Vine: Really poor form as Dylan Hartley aggressively pushes an injured Robbie Henshaw

England hooker does not cover himself in glory here

We’re pretty sure that Robbie managed to get over this

Dylan Hartley is one of those players everyone loves to hate. His rap-sheet is long and he even blocked SportsJOE on Twitter for having the temerity to publish the definitive list of his transgressions.

But really we just think that he’s the kind of pantomime villain that all sports need to keep the storylines ticking over.

Until now that is, as footage emerged from the Aviva on Sunday of Hartley deliberately, blatantly and aggressively pushing an injured Robbie Henshaw as he attempted to hobble out of harm’s way.

We know it was a heated game and all but that’s not on.

Obviously Henshaw had the last laugh with the small matter of the match-winning try.
