Christian Wade excites with outrageous touchdown in first NFL match
By RugbyPass
Christian Wade has made an emphatic start to his NFL career with an audacious 70-metre touchdown.
The NFL's official Twitter account posted the match highlight, which shows Wade doubtlessly winning over countless fans with his first touch of the football.
The former England international showed off his trademark pace, receiving the ball on his own 30-yard line then skipping through the defence to net his team the 6-pointer.
The commentators were in raptures with Christian Wade's score - but perhaps not as much as the Buffalo fans.
"They are going crazy for their friend from England," said one commentator.
Many Twitter users commented on Wade's 'unusual' ball-carrying style - obviously something he's retained from his rugby days.
The Bills went on to win the pre-season match 24-16.

Nah, that just needs some more variation. Chip kicks, grubber stabs, all those. Will Jordan showed a pretty good reason why the rush was bad for his link up with BB.
If you have an overlap on a rush defense, they naturally cover out and out and leave a huge gap near the ruck.
It also helps if both teams play the same rules. ARs set the offside line 1m past where the last mans feet were😅
Go to commentsYeah nar, should work for sure. I was just asking why would you do it that way?
It could be achieved by outsourcing all your IP and players to New Zealand, Japan, and America, with a big Super competition between those countries raking it in with all of Australia's best talent to help them at a club level. When there is enough of a following and players coming through internally, and from other international countries (starting out like Australia/without a pro scene), for these high profile clubs to compete without a heavy australian base, then RA could use all the money they'd saved over the decades to turn things around at home and fund 4 super sides of their own that would be good enough to compete.
That sounds like a great model to reset the game in Aus. Take a couple of decades to invest in youth and community networks before trying to become professional again. I just suggest most aussies would be a bit more optimistic they can make it work without the two decades without any pro club rugby bit.
