"We won't be changing massively the things we'll be looking to do based on one injury. We've got a style of play we want to adhere to," Seymour told reporters.

Duncan Weir had been called up over the weekend as cover while Adam Hastings and Peter Horne are also in line to start in Russell's absence.

"Finn has been playing really well and it's a shame, but these guys are fully capable of executing the game plan," Seymour added.
