'That's what I do' - Wade scores again to equal Prem try-scoring record

'Christian Wade Equals Chris Ashton's Prem Try-Scoring Record

The full report

Christian Wade has equalled Chris Ashton's all-time record of 101 career tries in the Premiership Rugby competition, according to BBC Sport. Wade's try against Sale on Friday took his tally for the season to six, matching Ashton's record. The Newcastle Red Bulls winger has been a consistent performer in the competition, with a hat-trick away to Exeter Chiefs in their previous fixture making him the second player to reach a century of tries.

Wade, 35, has been playing in the Premiership for over 15 years, with spells in two other sports during that time. He has shown remarkable longevity and adaptability, with the ability to perform at a high level day after day, week after week.

Ashton's record had stood for over three years, and while the former England winger has joked about losing his record, Wade has said that overtaking him has not been on his mind.

Wade's focus is on executing the team's system and performing well, with the result being more tries scored as a result. He believes that the team's cohesion is key to his success, and that he is simply doing what he loves to do - scoring tries.
