In one of his final acts as a Bath player before heading into the Six Nations, Finn Russell produced a try for Tom Carr-Smith that left his usually stoic coach Johann van Graan open-mouthed in awe.
“I have a saying: ‘Talent needs a target that nobody else can hit but a genius hits a target that nobody else can see,” Van Graan said. You could easily produce a reel of top-10 plays that Russell − and only Russell − could envisage yet alone execute. He is the ultimate showman who has built a level of adulation that crosses club and country divides.
