‘That’s what I do’ – Wade keeps cool as history approaches

Newcastle Red Bulls winger Christian Wade sits on 100 career Premiership tries, leaving him just one score away from equaling Chris Ashton's all-time competition record of 101. After scoring a hat-trick against Exeter Chiefs, the 35-year-old can match or surpass the mark when Newcastle host Sale Sharks on Friday night. Wade insists he remains focused on team execution rather than chasing individual milestones.

Wade's tally comes after a diverse career that included six years away from Premiership rugby, featuring a stint in the NFL with the Buffalo Bills, time with Racing 92 in France, and a brief spell in rugby league with Wigan Warriors. He credited personal off-field physical preparation for his enduring fitness and stated he plans to continue playing until he runs out of energy.
