You could argue Rutherford but it was a different game back then. To suggest that we can afford to leave him out in place of a winger trying to play 10 with cover from a full back is absolutely insane.
The fact that Townsend has been unable to manage Russell and ensure he is firing for Scotland is on him. Russell hasn’t had any issues what so ever with any other coach in his career - yet Townsend has fallen out with him and Hogg, our best players.
Sense now seems to have prevailed with Finn back in but it won’t be long before Townsends ego and stubbornness causes another issue. He needs sacked if we are to have any chance of avoiding another pool stage exit at the RWC.
