Robbie Martin was rounding him for a certain goal which would have made it 2-0 and wrapped the game up for UCD. Russell, who was out of his box at the time, dived at Robbie and caught him straight in the chest. It was like a wrestling move.
The ref called him over, reached in his pocket and everyone (including Russell himself) thought he was off but the ref only gave him a yellow. The defenders were never going to get to Robbie, it was a certain goal, if it was rugby, it would have been a penalty try!
Russell should have been sent off and banned for unsportsman-like behaviour.
