WATCH | Ex-England rugby star scores debut touchdown in NFL

Cape Town - Ex-England winger, Christian Wade made an instant impact in the NFL on Thursday, scoring a touchdown with his one and only touch in the game.

Wade, who played twice for England in 2013, joined the Buffalo Bills as part of the NFL's International Player Pathway Program.

Playing as a running back, Wade received the ball near the 60 yard line and outsprinted the Indianapolis Colts defence before he was mobbed by his team-mates.

Wade made over 150 apprearances for Wasps during his career, scoring 497 points in the process.
