Let's see. Bath have been less than the sum of their parts for a
number of years now. Van Graan will undoubtedly make them solid
again, but wait to see if he can give them an attacking edge.
I know money talks, but Russell to Bath seems a slightly odd
one. Van Graan isn't known for expansive rugby and others have
already mentioned the bog of a pitch that is the Rec.

If true, their 1st XV might be unlike the van-Graan side you
might otherwise expect:
Du Toit
Dunn
Stuart
Attwood
Ewels
Underhill
Barbeary
Hill
Spencer
Russell
Muir
Redpath
Lawrence
Gallagher
De Glanville

The move has been confirmed:
HTML https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/64037218
From the Beeb:
British and Irish Lions fly-half Finn Russell will join Bath
from Top 14 side Racing 92 after the 2023 World Cup.
The 30-year-old Scotland playmaker has spent four seasons in
Paris and will leave after the tournament in France in October
next year.
Russell, who joined Racing from Glasgow Warriors, has scored 272
points from 66 matches for the French club to date.
"To be able to join such a historic, well-supported club is
really exciting," Russell said.
"I know players at Bath who speak highly of the environment, and
the direction the club is going in is something I want to be a
part of.
"I've enjoyed my time at Racing 92 and I've learned a lot. Now
is the right time for a new challenge, in a new league, with the
aim of moving Bath back to the top end of the Premiership and
competing for domestic and European titles."
Russell spent six years with Warriors before moving to France in
2018.
He has been capped 65 times by Scotland since his debut in 2014
and was part of the Lions team that toured New Zealand in 2017
and South Africa last year.
Russell was initially left out of the Scotland squad for this
year's autumn series after head coach Gregor Townsend said there
were questions over the number 10's "form and consistency".
He was then recalled for their match against New Zealand
following an injury to Adam Hastings.
"Finn is a world-class player who will significantly add to our
squad on and off the field," Bath head of rugby Johann van Graan
said.
"To be able to attract players of Finn's quality to Bath Rugby
is a credit to how far we have come as a club and a group since
11 July."
Bath have signed a number of players since Van Graan took over
this summer, with former Wasps forward Alfie Barbeary and
ex-Worcester duo Ted Hill and Ollie Lawrence among those who
have moved to the Recreation Ground.
However, fly-half Billy Searle has left the club after signing
as short-term injury cover in October.

Committing £1million a year to one player with the premiership
in the state it’s in is absolutely crackers.

£1 million, is a figure that is only guess work....these stories
always annoy me, in reality these contracts are private, and the
only people that really know the figures are The club, the
player and the agent...

Times is saying Lewis Boyce is on the move from Bath. Would we
want him back? Doesn’t seem to have made huge progress but then
I am an amateur in the propping business.

Loose Head he left when Marler decided not to play International
rugby.

Any chance Joe might change his mind, given the changes in
England management?
