VIDEO: Christian Wade shines on NFL debut
Former Wasps and England wing Christian Wade has made a superb start to his NFL career after scoring a superb touchdown in his first game in his new sport.
The 28-year-old, who was signed by the Buffalo Bills in April, made his mark with a 70-metre touchdown in his team’s pre-season opener against the Indianapolis Colts in New York on Thursday night.
The Bills went on to claim a 24-16 win and Wade’s score was one of the highlights of the match.
In his first football game ever. On his first NFL touch.
