Scotland rugby star Finn Russell has passed return-to-play protocols after a nasty clash of heads with a teammate and will start the Six Nations match against England on Saturday.

Scotland are hoping both talismanic flyhalf Finn Russell and flying winger Darcy Graham could yet be included in their team to take on England in Saturday’s Six Nations clash, assistant coach Peter Horne said on Monday.

Scotland rugby players Darcy Graham and Finn Russell have been involved in a nasty-looking clash of heads and were unable to continue during a Six Nations match against Ireland.

Scotland have added three players to their squad for Saturday’s Six Nations clash away against England including British & Irish Lions scrumhalf Ali Price as they wait to see whether Darcy Graham and Finn Russell could be fit.

Finn Russell and Darcy Graham, who were both concussed after a head collision against Ireland, have been included in Scotland's Six Nations squad to face England at Twickenham this weekend. Russell and Graham collided in the 22nd minute of the Ireland game while trying to tackle Jamison Gibson-Park and neither took any further part in a match their side eventually lost 32-18.
