Rugby star keeps promise to his primary school teacher in England debut
As he prepared to make his England Test debut, Northampton flanker Lewis Ludlam probably had a lot on his mind.
With the impending announcement of the 31-man squad for the Rugby World Cup on the horizon, the 23-year-old would have been forgiven for focusing solely on the task at hand.Image:"13 years ago I promised my primary school teacher if I ever played for England id get her tickets to my first game to thank her for her support," he wrote on Twitter.Ludlam also shared two photos of him hugging and posing with the unnamed teacher.
The flanker put in an impressive performance in England's 33-19 victory over Wales at Twickenham on Sunday.
