Finn Russell hasn’t crossed paths yet with Ben Healy but the Racing 92 and Scotland out-half believes his country’s new recruit could be a key weapon as they embark on a 2023 campaign that consists of a Six Nations and a World Cup.

Healy’s switch to Edinburgh was confirmed early this month and Scotland coach Gregor Townsend wasted no time in capitalising on the move by naming the Tipperary-born Munster ten in his squad for the upcoming Championship.
