NORTHAMPTON boss Jim Mallinder insists there was no intent involved in Dylan Hartley’s latest yellow card, issued in the first half when he went to clear out a ruck and made contact with Rabah Slimani with his arm.
Mallinder said: “When you come to a place like this and you are playing top level rugby you have got to be physical in your clearouts and you have to stay on your feet. You can’t go diving off your feet and Dylan just needed to stay up there.
