Townsend was expecting to meet with the player before the next match against Italy on 22 February. "You're disappointed if a player chooses not to be in the camp that you've enjoyed coaching in the past. I've coached him for over seven years and he's been very coachable, he's been great to work with. Russell said in his newspaper interview that the approach from coaches "hasn't been working" for him or the team.
