Peter Russell (born 22 February 1962) is a former Ireland rugby union international from Northern Ireland.
Russell, born in Belfast, was a fly-half for Instonians and Ulster.[1]
Capped four times for Ireland, Russell's debut against England at Twickenham in the 1990 Five Nations was in a bad defeat and he didn't get another opportunity until his recall for the 1992 tour of New Zealand.[2] In the first Test at Carisbrook, he kicked three conversions and a penalty, as Ireland came close to upsetting the All Blacks.[3]
Russell is now an IT executive.[4]
