Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, through his Matchroom agency, has signed British and Irish Lions players Finn Russell and Henry Pollock, expanding his influence into rugby union representation.

The move marks a significant step for Matchroom, traditionally known for boxing promotion, into the rugby market. Russell, a Scotland international fly-half, and Pollock, an emerging England forward, both featured for the Lions on their recent tour.

Rugby union correspondent Chris Jones reported the signings on October 30, 2026.
