Russell kicked very well, his remit was obviously to keep Toulouse very deep and that was what he did.
and Racing won
If you mean he kicked deeper than Ntamack, you are right. He won that battler every time: hence my comment on Ntamack's poor (again) game management. F**k knows why 2 sides who never play that way decided to do that last night but it was a sh*t watch.
Russell also blew a try when he was caught and hauled back short of the line by Dupont.
{EDIT} Doussy (Racing skills coach) has said they no longer had the luxury of playing how they like but had to play how they thought they could win. So they decided kicking deep and beating ST at the breakdown was the best tactic. So you are correct Tichtheid.
