Finn Russell's impressive intercept pass was pivotal in Bath's recent triumph over Leicester in the Premiership final, marking a 29-year title drought's end. His selfless play, particularly passing to teammate Max Ojomoh, highlighted the team's cohesiveness fostered by coach Johann van Graan. Ojomoh's scoring chance was especially poignant, linking the current squad to Bath's rich history. Russell's reflections on team dynamics and his interactions with van Graan underscore how personal connections and shared goals contribute to the team's success, reminiscent of past glories as they celebrated this long-awaited victory.
For Finn Russell has previous with intercepts when attacking Twickenham's south stand. It was playing that way that he picked off Owen Farrell's pass before streaking clear in the madcap 38-38 draw between England and Scotland in 2019.
Listen to him explain his decision to make the pass to Ojomoh... you get a pretty good idea of how the coach, Johann van Graan, has been able to end that wait, three years after taking charge of a club that was full of high-quality individuals.
