The Ruck returns with Stephen Jones, Owen Slot, Stuart Barnes and Jonny Fordham.

The panel discuss why Dylan Hartley's club form will not change Eddie Jones' thinking on starting him for England. Owen explains the book which led Jones to think this way and Jonny reveals the day to day relationship between captain and coach.

Stephen and Stuart then disagree on the England coach's criteria and selection policy. 

There's also a full preview of all the big european action and Stuart explains why he thinks Jordan Larmour could be worth the hype.
