Jim Mallinder offered no consolation to Dylan Hartley after the England captain lasted just six minutes off the bench as Northampton were dominated 37-10 by Leinster at Franklins Gardens.Leinster had started in efficient fashion, Rob Kearneys fine line-break setting up young Ireland centre Garry Ringrose to go over after just two minutes.

Weve seen enough of them over the last few weeks and I think it was a red cardDylan has been playing really well and leading England by example, so it was disappointing on returning from England and doing such a good job that that happens.I wouldnt say it cost us the game.

It was pleasing how we closed the game out, but there were probably areas where we can be better at, so Ill have a look over the weekend and try to make a few changes when we come in on Monday.The score was 20-10 at the time and I thought the guys showed good composure again - Rory (OLoughlin) did unbelievably well from Ross (Byrnes) cross-field kick.That was really pleasing to see those new European caps come in, but the red card definitely knocked the stuffing out of them.
