After missing last weekend’s opener in Argentina due to a calf injury, Russell is back in action, providing a significant boost to Scotland’s attacking options. Russell, 33, hasn’t played since May 16, when Bath secured a Gallagher Premiership victory over Newcastle Falcons. His absence was felt keenly during Bath’s play-off semi-final loss to Exeter Chiefs, where his replacement, Santi Carreras, struggled under pressure in the closing stages.
