Finn Russell joins Eoin Sheahan for our latest episode of Inner Drive, for a wide-ranging chat on the journey from Bridge of Allan to the very top of world rugby. Finn reflects on growing up playing every sport going, breaking through as a “late developer”, and balancing rugby with a stonemasonry apprenticeship before the pro dream properly took off. He opens up on New Zealand’s influence, the Lions rollercoaster from “Geography 6” to Player of the Series, and the much-talked-about mending of bridges with Gregor Townsend. He also opens up about what Scotland need to do to win something big. Inner Drive on Off The Ball is brought to you by Allianz.
