Dylan Hartley confirmed as England captain at Six Nations launch

Joe Schmidt says Ireland will need to keep pace with England to have a chance of winning.

Dylan Hartley has been confirmed as England captain for the RBS 6 Nations - and was accompanied at Wednesday's official tournament launch by a bruised Eddie Jones.

Hartley will continue as skipper for the Grand Slam defence despite being sent off for striking Sean O'Brien during Northampton's defeat by Leinster on December 3, an offence that resulted in a six-week suspension.
