Johnny Sexton, newly appointed assistant coach for the British & Irish Lions, has pledged to assist Finn Russell, following past criticisms of the Scotland fly-half. Despite a history of tension stemming from Sexton's exclusion from the 2021 Lions squad, both players met to clear the air last month. Russell stated there were no hard feelings, while Sexton clarified his previous remarks were more about his own feelings than Russell himself. The two are now focused on collaboration for the upcoming tour in Australia.
Sexton emphasized that his role is to support Russell, despite past criticisms, and is committed to fostering a positive working relationship for the Lions tour.
Russell expressed that the past tensions have been resolved and he holds no grudges against Sexton, indicating a positive atmosphere within the team.
