"While the Scottish outhalf may have divided opinion in Ireland at various points of his career, there is no doubting the player he has become in the last couple of years since he returned from France to play for Bath."
Finn Russell, Scotland's outhalf, arrives in Dublin for a significant match against Ireland with championship and Triple Crown stakes. Russell has evolved considerably since returning from France to play for Bath, establishing himself as a world-class No 10 capable of executing sophisticated game plans. His reunion with former Lions teammates adds narrative depth to the encounter.
