A lengthy rapprochement process between Scotland coach Gregor Townsend and flyhalf Finn Russell will be successfully concluded on Friday when the mercurial halfback returns for their test programme opener against Georgia at Murrayfield.

Russell was dropped on the eve of Scotland’s Six Nations opener in Ireland after “a breach of team protocol”, with British media reporting he missed training after a night out.Russell said soon after he had no relationship with Townsend despite eight years of working with him and played no part in Scotland’s remaining games in the competition before it was halted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 28-year-old showed what Scotland had been missing during Racing 92’s European Champions Cup campaign, setting up a winning try in the semi-final against Saracens although a flippant moment cost them in the final against Exeter Chiefs.Advertisement
