FINN RUSSELL tells the tale of the night he helped slay a dragon to deliver a fairytale ending for the girl who's changed his life.
The latest chapter in Scotland's Six Nations storybook was all-but written by the fly-half who admits his virtuoso display in an historic victory over Wales was inspired by fatherhood and daughter Charley who made a first appearance among the Murrayfield crowd.
Russell's partner Emma gave birth back in November and the dark blues playmaker admits the new arrival has given hima fresh perspective on his career.
The Racing 92 star turned in a maverick man of the match display as Scotland
won opening back-to-back games in this competition for the first time and he insists it was all about making one face in the crowd proud.
He said: It was the first game my daughter Charley was at. Maybe that’s why they gave me man of the match!
