Eddie Jones expects Dylan Hartley to captain England in the Six Nations

Eddie Jones insists only ill-discipline can prevent Dylan Hartley from resuming as England captain for the Six Nations.

Hartley will start on the bench against Samoa on Saturday, live on Sky Sports Action, as Jones looks to rotate his squad for the third and final autumn international.

Chris Robshaw and George Ford have been named as co-captains for the Test, while Jamie George will make his first start for England as hooker in place of Hartley.

Hartley will instead be introduced at half-time on Saturday and Jones insists only another disciplinary implosion can stop the Northampton skipper from captaining his country in next year's Six Nations, as England look to secure a third successive title.

"Certainly at this stage there's no reason why he won't be captain for the Six Nations," Jones said.

"If he doesn't have one of those mystical experiences at Franklin's Gardens, then he'll be captain. As long as that mist doesn't come in over Franklin's Gardens.

"Dylan understands it's about developing a team for the World Cup. This is an opportunity for the rest of the squad to show they can step up.

"But Dylan is still captain of the side. It just so happens that he is going to finish the game for us. We want to change. We want to make people a bit more uncomfortable.

"We want to test our ability if Dylan's not available, to put a team on the field and have leadership density. So it's an opportunity for these guys to show it."

Hartley insists he has no issues with starting from the bench against Samoa.

"For the 20-odd games I've played under Eddie, I've sat there and said: 'boys, we've all got a role to play, whether you are a starter or a finisher'," Hartley said.

"So it would be unfair for me to say that for the last two years and then not fulfil my role this week."
