Russell’s outlook on rugby has changed in the past two years.

At the start of his career, he would replay games in his head, especially losses, fixating on what he could have done differently.

Since becoming a father to seven-month-old Skye and two-year-old Charlie, though, Russell finds it easier to switch off from his work.

“My eldest daughter, Charlie, was two in November – she’s good fun, chatty,” he said.

“It’s cool being here in Bath, a smaller city – you can go into town and she can run around and have fun and chat to people.

“The more you build that relationship with them, so after a game whether you win or lose, I’ll see Charlie and it kind of makes you forget about the game and what’s happened. It definitely takes your mind off it.

“It definitely does give you a different perspective on life and on rugby instead of being down after the game, rethinking what could have been different.

“I wouldn’t say it’s recovery because you’re full on with the kids, but in terms of getting away from rugby, it’s really good.

“Instead of PlayStation, I’ve got my two-year-old to keep me busy.”
