Stuart Russell (rugby union)

Stuart Edward Russell (born 29 May 1963) is a Welsh former rugby union international.

Russell, a Nairobi-born lock, attended Burford School in Oxfordshire and played for London Welsh.

Capped once for Wales, in a 1987 win over the United States, Russell was the first London Welsh player to debut for Wales since Clive Rees back in 1974. He moved to Bishop's Stortford in 1988, but was forced to retire from top level rugby within a year due to an eye injury, having twice suffered a detached retina.
