Genge and Ludlam respond to latest photographic mix-up
By Josh Raisey
England teammates Ellis Genge and Lewis Ludlam have reacted online to having their images mixed up for the second time in the space of a month. There was quite a backlash in June when the BBC confused the two players.
They used the image of the Northampton Saints flanker Ludlam instead of the Leicester Tigers prop Genge, but this same mistake has happened again - this time on the website of BT Sport, the channel that broadcasts the Gallagher Premiership in the UK.
The photographic error was in relation to the prop signing a new deal for Leicester Tigers, prompting Genge to comment on Twitter: “So happy to see you’ve signed a few at Tigers mate @LewisLudlam big call from you!”
This was a jocular response from Genge, but his reaction was far more acerbic last month when this happened whereupon he alleged that it was the 15th time in less than a year that the two players had been mixed up.
Teammates of the two players have been in disbelief that this mistake keeps happening and it has frequently been pointed out that they do not even look similar to each other.
I thought this was a joke the last time. what is going on? shambles! You don’t even look alike ????

Ben Smith you really make some good points in this article, the Springboks were not close to perfect and good still beat the All Blacks, imagine if they were as good as they were against France what a hiding the All Blacks would have gotten… maybe another Twickenham drubbing
Go to commentsIt is a good argument to keep the Rebels for one more year but also isnt this just opening the door as well for keeping them beyond 2025. If they can create some sort of financial stability in the next year and if their performances lift as they have this season then how would RA even cull them after that? It might be the most cost effective decision at this stage and perhaps many people are guilty of keeping relationships going because of the cost to decouple but then again when does that ever work out well?
