Dylan Hartley to captain England against South Africa in third Test after Chris Robshaw cracks thumb "Once we knew that we couldn't compromise Chris's well-being," said Lancaster. He'd just got on with it during the Test. It was sore but he was in the heat of the battle. It's just a risk not worth taking, even though no player who is captain of his country wants to be told he can't play in the final Test. Robshaw said that he was "gutted" and that "it was a difficult way to end the season." England had intended to start James Haskell in tonight's match against the Northern Barbarians in Potchefstroom but the Robshaw news forced them into a rethink, dropping the former Wasps back-rower to the bench to take him out of the firing line. The inexperienced duo of Bath's Carl Fearns and Jamie Gibson of London Irish will start instead. Lancaster does not have too many natural replacements. Although there are concerns within the England management over Haskell's rashness as well as game management, he has plenty of service to the cause to his name. Exeter's Tom Johnson, who has played at blindside in the opening two Tests, is another option in the No 7 shirt. "Tom has played at openside for me in the Churchill Cup while James has had a significant number of games for England there," said Lancaster. The selection for the Barbarians match lends weight to the theory that Harlequins scrum-half Danny Care will start the third Test, reward for getting his act together off the field as well as playing with real snap and authority against the Southern Barbarians in Kimberley. The fact that No 8 Ben Morgan has been dropped to the midweek side means that Leicester's Thomas Waldrom will also be promoted. Saracens lock Mouritz Botha is also on bench duty in Potchefstroom, indicating that Tom Palmer will get the vote against the Springboks with Alex Corbisiero at loosehead. Ugo Monye gets his first game on tour. Lancaster has given the captaincy to Hartley despite his recent suspension. Robshaw will stay with the squad but Youngs returned home on Monday night. South Africa have added Western Province full-back Joe Pietersen to their squad.
