Finn Russell says Andy Farrell helped put any tension with Johnny Sexton to bed

Finn Russell has revealed that he buried the hatchet with Johnny Sexton with the help of Andy Farrell as the old foes join forces on the British and Irish Lions tour to Australia.

Sexton has previously been critical of Russell, labelling him “flashy” and a “media darling”, while adding he would choose Owen Farrell over him against the Wallabies because the former England captain is a “Test match animal”.
