Watch - Finn Russell conjures moment of magic in Dublin (RugbyPass)

His performances have not gone unnoticed by Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend, and he has been rewarded with a recall to the Scotland national team for the upcoming Guinness Six Nations tournament. The Scotland flyhalf has been instrumental in leading his team to fifth in the Top 14 standings.

Russell somehow slipped between three Leinster defenders before pointing to where he was going to pass before releasing a perfectly floated ball with his left hand to winger Wade, who boasts a fine strike rate against Leinster, did the rest.
