Russell and Johnson are two of the best players we've had in my lifetime ffs. Perhaps the blame should lie with the chuff that was instructing him to constantly kick away possession.
They were. Townsend has ruined them. All Russell wants to do is fucking kick the ball away - there's no inventiveness any more. They/we're easy to play against - press hard passed the gain line and don't give them any space. Our solution is always (it seems) to kick it away.
It's old rugby and Townsend is coaching it like he used to play.
