Lawrence plotting a way to take down pal Finn
OLLIE LAWRENCE is racing against time to solve England's Calcutta Cup conundrum - how to stop Finn Russell.
England centre Lawrence and Scotland fly-half Russell are Bath team-mates but are set to face off at Twickenham in round three of the Six Nations a week on Saturday.
Russell inspired Bath to the Premiership final last year and Lawrence was alongside him in midfield most weeks.
But he admits he is still searching for a masterplan to stop Scotland's maverick 10 who runs everything they do in attack.
Lawrence, 25, said: "I do know him pretty well, and I probably don't have the answer for that one yet.
"He's another exceptional talent. I don't think going after him on your own - it's kind of similar to the French with Antoine Dupont if you go after him, you create holes elsewhere.
