Awaitin the hatin.

It is not an accident. Done it in France in a season’s burst and now longevity in England. No one else knows the way to the try line better.

Agree. He still looks in great shape too. Harshly treated by referees for some reason.

Did he break the record today, then?

I've always had a lot of time for him as a player

The 3rd try he scored today was great. Really nice change of line. Might have lost some pace but still an excellent finisher.

Very pleased for him. Seems like a helluva nice guy too.

Nonu said after training with him at Toulon... that Ashton was the fastest player he had ever played with or against....

He's just a white Phil Chesters.

Christophers?

How many Prem games has each of those on the list played in?

Wade would be well over 100 tries now if he hadn't left rugby.

Yes, he did a couple of really daft things and from then on was tainted and treated very oddly on a few occasions.

Great player and apparently top bloke.
