It's approaching crunch time for the British and Irish Lions on their tour of Australia... and Finn Russell is right in the thick of the action.

Finn is bringing his heart and soul to the Lions

The Bridge of Allan-born fly half has been a key figure for the select side since arriving on the back of securing Premiership success for Bath and has led the famous red shirts to a pair of wins over the Western Force and the Queensland Reds while Down Under.

Russell didn't play in the most recent win over the Waratahs on Saturday as the Lions laboured to a 21-10 win.
