Russell should overcome 'cramp' for final - Van Graan
@Source: bbc.com
Bath fly-half Finn Russell should be fit for the Premiership final next Saturday after leaving the field with cramp near the end of their semi-final win against Bristol. The Scotland and British and Irish Lions number 10 went off limping in the final five minutes at The Rec after kicking 14 points in their 34-20 victory. Bath head of rugby Johann van Graan said he had no reason to believe Russell would not be able to play when they take on either Leicester or Sale for the title at Twickenham in a week's time. "He's in a bit of pain, he's got multiple parts of his body cramping – it's only cramp at this stage," said Van Graan. "He put in some effort. I thought his goal kicking was phenomenal, the chases that he put in. He'll be fine, but he's still cramping in the changing room as we speak. "It was amazing how many guys on both sides went down with cramp. It just showed the effort that both teams put in. We worked incredibly hard to get into this position, to get back to Twickenham."
