Russell has proved wrong those who doubted his ability on the basis of his small size, with brilliant displays for the Pumas during 2002, and then for the Sharks. His superb pace combined with his relatively diminutive stature have earned him the title of 'Pocket Rocket'. He plays fullback for the Sharks but is versatile and has played other positions in the back.
