THERE ARE A lot of rugby players who earn the right to be described as ‘a footballer’.
But with Finn Russell producing skill like this, we’ll either have to reclassify a heap of them or give the Scot a moniker all of his own.
There was an advantage coming and Russell not only rolled the dice in search of a try, he deftly rolled the oval ball clean through Rory Scannell’s legs.
FINN RUSSELL BEHAVE YOURSELF 🔥

The cheekiest of grubber kicks, and a NUTMEG too?!
A moment of pure brilliance, what a try! 🙌#HeinekenChampionsCup pic.twitter.com/hYJuAm2AOX
The Champions Cup clash at Thomond Park was already entertaining enough without Russell’s astounding extra flourish.
There was no following up that quality, but the match delivered plenty more drama as the sides played out a tense 21-21 draw.
I’m no rugby man but that’s one of the greatest try’s iv ever seen
@Hon Tipp: dead right. As good a European game as we have had in a while.
…bad enough to have to endure a tight scrappy affair, but Ryle and BOD as well….FFS!
@Michael Murray: I like both of them.
Great skills by Russell. And Thomas for the 2nd try. But if you look back I think Chat may be cited for an illegal clear out in the lead up to the 1st try.
Munster not out of it, but in a tough situation.
C’mon Munster.
JOD looks to be suffering…thought he was a candidate for a HIA to be honest
This is the kinda s***e Fergus McFadden does be at in a parallel universe
Class try infairness
Ha ha, Zebo flat on his arse after a big Earls paw in his puss. Enjoyed that one.
Ridiculous skill?????
@And_Helipad: You go out there and try to do it. It is unbelievable skill
Pure filth.
