Glasgow have posted a FB update saying Finn Russell is still in hospital in Galway, no mention of his injury or when he is likely to be getting home, sounds like he's got a sore one.

Take it he had a concussion of some sort, Zander Fagerson also tweeted that his head is a bit sore but he is fine.

From the FB page:

FINN RUSSELL UPDATE: Finn remains under observation in hospital but is awake and with his family. We'd like to thank the Connacht medical team, the ambulance staff at the ground and everyone at University Hospital Galway for all their help. Finn would like to thank everyone for their kind messages over the last 24 hours. We'll provide further information when we get it.

Aye not good....medics etc were pretty much on the ball. Thought connacht fans showed a bit of class with the way they applauded him off.

If anybody missed the Sevens final, full game is here

Well worth it to watch the full match, some really class tries from Scotland, a driving maul and a winger carrying two men over the line

it's also on the video hub on the world sevens series website, I never get tired of watching Fifes try and the scenes that followed!

Watched it again......just reaching the final on previous form was a huge shock....to beat that saffer team would have been amazing but to do it with 26 seconds left needing two tries was just ranieritastic. Fair play to players n coaches for massively raising the bar. Especially glad to see Dougie fife get some recognition....vern cotter doesn't seem to like him much but he's done some fine work for Scotland n embra in last 3 yrs....albeit he looks like a ginger Ian poulter...

The 7's team have improved immensely as the season has gone on, and its just a pity its finishing now. To think that it was the England team that gained qualification to the Olympics, we are now (well the last few tournaments anyway) by far the better team. Its just a pity the Olympic squad was selected so early or there would have been a few more Scots in it.

 

It was an excellent performance from Scotland, just hope we can keep up that standard going into next season

British team is perceived as the English team

Russell is still under observation in hospital but does not require surgery and will miss the summer tour of Japan. A replacement will be called up before the team leave

Edinburgh born Stormers centre Huw Jones called into Scotland squad for Japan tour.

Interesting to see how this one goes, he seems to be highly rated and also eligible for Wales, England and South Africa but good to get him tied down.

It also produced a highly amusing tear stained rant from Andy Nicol. Absolute throbber.

there has been a lot of talk about what nation he would pick and in the end it looked like it was between us and the Welsh. Edited by ajwffc

Just looked up Andy Nicols Twitter to find out what he was saying. Noticed he is a director of a very wanky sounding business consultancy, why am I not surprised!

Saracens lead Exeter 23-6 at half time in the Premiership final, Chiefs kicking far too much possession away. Scotland centre Duncan Taylor scored a good try.

Exeter coming back into it now. A try soon for them makes it very interesting.
