Wandering star Chris Ashton can't sit still for 10 minutes

Evening Standard

Chris Ashton smiles when I ask him if he would like to become the David Beckham of rugby union. "Yeah, if it means I become the best winger in the game."

Then the Northampton back, who lit up England's rugby season, adds: "I'm a lad from Wigan, I'm very down to earth. I don't think I'll ever change."

Despite his trademark swallow dive when scoring a try, Ashton does not seek celebrity glory and is happy to let his rugby do the talking.
