SOME FINN TO GET US GOING

Attack coach says Russell's presence already felt as 'exciting' double act floated

- DAVID BARNES

AB ZONDAGH reckons Finn Russell will have no problem fitting back into the Scotland team even though he has not been part of it since the Six Nations.

And although the attack coach would give nothing away about the starting line-up for Sunday's match against New Zealand, he reckons it would be good if both Russell and rival stand-off Blair Kinghorn are on the field at the same time.

That is unlikely to happen right from the start against the Al Blacks. Kinghorn started five internationals in a row before Adam Hastings now out injured took over for last week's game against Fiji.

And boss Gregor Townsend looks set to give a big vote o confidence to the Edinburgh player by handing the No.10 jersey back to him.
