Russell showing what he is about - nice and flat with big runners and good offloads

Get in

[Buzzo]

My heart is beating

Nervous for Finn. Press will savage him if he makes any mistake. But it’s much better than the boring percentage kick chase that Biggar was serving up.

Dynamic of the team changed instantly.

Really straight forward maul. Worrying for the boks how easy that was.

It’s his goal kicking that worries me slightly - he doesn’t even kick at club level but faultless so far. He is a maverick and let’s hope it’s his day today

The maverick tag is a bit over used, listening to ROG who mentioned he was speaking to his coach at Racing, who mentions how much of a student of the game Finn is. Pours over videos of teams looking for weaknesses.

Markus Smith plays the same yet is never referred to in the same terms.

Finn has been quality for years, let’s hope he uses this opportunity to prove it.

He kicks for Scotland, he’s no Laidlaw/Farrell but is solid enough.

He’s not a Spencer or Cooper but his style of play behind a pack under pressure makes him look bad. If the pack give Price quick ball then Russell has the skills to excel

Scots to the fore here Buzzo

[Buzzo]

It’s been night and day since Russell came on? It’s not just me seeing that right?

[Buzzo]

Scots to the fore here Buzzo

Yeah, it’s just nice to be seeing some Rugby!!!

[Buzzo]

Williams HAD to pass that. Adams would have had a run in.

[RichC]

Russell has been very good. Not sure the Boks know what to do with him

[Irishnev]

Williams not passing and Curry on the maul - two good chances missed

Another Lions try and it’s a huge gap. Hopefully these missed chances aren’t costly.
