Best of Finn Russell So Far! | The Messi of Rugby! | Gallagher Premiership Rugby 

Should be 'Messi' of rugby so its taken with the tongue in cheek Russell joked it to be. Media taking tongue in cheek seriously as usual

He just does that thing that top sportsmen do in all sports , he gives you moments that take your breath away . They always seem to have more time than others , or create another half yard that ensures a score .

Marcus Smith's 'tackle' on that last try. LOL.

I really hope Russell wins a 6 nations title before he retires. He’s a world class player stuck in a decent team (and this is coming from a Scotland fan). He has almost single handedly got us to a competitive level to where we can beat most teams in the world (bar perhaps Ireland/SA). But if you want to win a 6N, then you have to beat an Ireland at some point.

3:19 me when I see a Finn Russell highlights video (minus the savage curls)

Finn Russell will go down as the GOAT SRU Player.

As a (very) former Back row, there were Stand-off's who were wholly " readable" in almost every aspect of their plays. very few were unreadable. A certain number of the Welsh Standoffs were brilliant in this respect and, given the superb service of the scrumhalves were absolutely outstanding.. Finn Russell easily gets into my top five since the 1960's The timing and placement of the "crosskick" which bounced. so perfectly into the hands of Duhan Van Der Merwe from which he scored was, to quote the commentator, sublime. One other from the era of "real" rugby was Richard Sharpe of England whose sidestep with no prior indication of any kind was really good to behold.

Not very edifying watching the Messi of rugby playing kick tennis in the last 15 of their loss to France, when they should have been pushing for victory. And not just kick tennis, but also playing the "Du Pont" rule by standing for a number of seconds in his 25 just not doing anything.

Messi wins silver wear Russel doesn’t

Steady on now. Messi of rugby? Messi is the greatest footballer of all time, has won absolutely every accolade in football and is arguably the most talented sportsman of all time? Finns just a very good Scottish player who's won F All

Would never describe the guy as the Messi of rugby lol.
