Greig Laidlaw: Scotland won’t target controversial star Dylan Hartley

Greig Laidlaw has insisted Scotland “can’t go looking” to wind up Dylan Hartley - but refused to rule out benefiting from the new England captain’s clouded disciplinary history.

Scotland skipper Laidlaw vowed Vern Cotter’s side will not target Hartley for special treatment in the RBS 6 Nations opener at Murrayfield on Saturday, February 6.

The Gloucester scrum-half however hinted that Scotland still believe Hartley’s career suspensions tally of 54 weeks could come back to haunt him in his new leadership role.
