Dylan Hartley's six-week suspension means he will be available for the start of the Six Nations but should the England skipper retain his starting place?

Hartley's latest ban ends on January 23, just 12 days before England host France in their Six Nations opener. That leaves him with just one Anglo-Welsh Cup fixture to get up to speed - Northampton's trip to East Midlands rivals Leicester on January 28.
