Fly-halves go head-to-head in Premiership final‘Fin has shocked me. He has been awesome’

The England scrum-half Alex Mitchell is backing his teammate Fin Smith to win his looming fly-half duel with Finn Russell when Northampton face Bath in the Gallagher Premiership final this weekend.

The battle of the two No 10s and goalkickers will be a key element of the game on Saturday and Mitchell believes the more youthful Smith has all the necessary tools to emerge on top.
