England's injury worries ahead of Autumn Tests increases with Dylan Hartley "I can't really talk for Chris Robshaw but I can speak very, very highly of Dylan Hartley," Mallinder said. We appointed him captain of the club a few years ago and I think that he has matured as a player, he's very strong on the field in terms of being a leader and leads by example. Off the field he's got the respect of all these players and those around him and he's definitely a candidate. Meanwhile, Derek McGrath, chief executive of European Rugby Cup Limited, says a future Heineken Cup without English clubs was an "unthinkable" outcome of the row over the future structure of the tournament with Premiership Rugby. McGrath on Monday reaffirmed ERC's rejection of Premiership Rugby's new £152million deal with BT Vision which includes the right to show games involving English club's in European competitions from 2014. European stakeholders are due to meet in Rome for crunch talks next Monday and while McGrath said there were no guarantees for any country. "The history of European competition has been clubs that challenge and clubs that push, but ultimately what is important is respect for solidarity and the integrity of the competitions," said McGrath. If we don't have every party willing to approach it like that, we can't go forward together. Meanwhile, Sale No 8 Andy Powell will appear before an RFU disciplinary hearing on Tuesday after being cited for allegedly using foul language and making an obscene hand gesture to spectators during his side's defeat by Bath on Satuday. Sale's team-mate Tom Brady has also been cited for allegedly making a dangerous tackle on Ben Skirving. Wasps prop Tim Payne will also appear at a hearing on Tuesday after being charged with allegedly striking Vasily Artemyev with his knee. Wales scrum-half Mike Phillips has had his suspension for off-field misbehaviour lifted after one game by French club Bayonne.
