Finn Russell joins Eoin Sheahan for our latest episode of Inner Drive, for a wide-ranging chat on the journey from Bridge of Allan to the very top of world rugby. 

Finn reflects on growing up playing every sport going, breaking through as a “late developer”, and balancing rugby with a stonemasonry apprenticeship before the pro dream properly took off. 

He opens up on New Zealand’s influence, the Lions rollercoaster from “Geography 6” to Player of the Series, and the much-talked-about mending of bridges with Gregor Townsend. 

He also opens up about what Scotland need to do to win something big.

 Inner Drive on Off The Ball is brought to you by Allianz.

It’s a full-on Off The Ball Breakfast Buffet as the gang goes from porridge trauma and hotel breakfast politics to the loudest noises you’ve ever heard (including low-flying Air Force jets over a French campsite).

The big talking point: Hyrox — and the Beijing chaos that had everyone asking where the line is in “competitive exercising”, plus the wider obsession with turning hobbies into side hustles, run clubs, and the whole fitness-industrial complex.

Plus: bucket-list sporting events, downhill mountain biking crowds that look like the French Revolution, and a “where are they now?” deep dive on football’s great disappearances.
