Russell mends broken fences with Townsend

Scotland’s Finn Russell left the squad for breaching team protocol. But the fly-half looks prepared to make a return to the international fold now.

Scottish star Finn Russell has “no regrets at all” about his actions over missing the Six Nations but revealed he has spoken with head coach Gregor Townsend about a return.

The fly-half, 27, left the squad prior to the 19-12 defeat by Ireland for “breaching team protocol” during a drinking session.
