Rugby union turned American football star Christian Wade believes Eddie Jones was ‘awkward’ and didn’t want to call him up to the England setup. Wade made the move from rugby union to American football in 2018, where he joined up with NFL outfit Buffalo Bills.
Prior to his switch, the 31-year-old was last called up to the England side all the way back in 2013, where he made one appearance. Whilst he continued to impress on the domestic stage, Wade was never recalled, despite a number of conversations with Jones.
As a result, Wade revealed in an interview with the Telegraph that the England boss was a ‘bit of an awkward one’ when offering him somewhat empty feedback on how he could break into the team.
