England rugby captain Dylan Hartley has been given a six-week ban for striking, taking his career tally of suspended weeks to 60.

The Rotorua-born hooker was sent off in the weekend for the third time in his career after hit Sean O'Brien with a swinging arm during Northampton's loss to Leinster.

The suspension means he still will be available for the opening fixture of the Six Nations against France.
