Erling Haaland’s Prem transfer ‘worst thing that’s happened’ to rugby lookalike

It's safe to say the last few days for Saracens rugby star Hugh Tizard have been fairly enjoyable.

The 23-year-old lock helped Mark McCall's side claim the Gallagher Premiership title last weekend, with Saracens overcoming Sale Sharks 35-32 at a sun-soaked Twickenham.

However, despite the elation of winning the Premiership, which was clear to see on Tizard's face at full-time, one thing has been getting him down – namely, all the comparisons to Manchester City star Erling Haaland he claims to recieve.

Like Tizard, Haaland has also enjoyed a stellar domestic campaign this term, helping Manchester City to claim their fifth Premier League title in six seasons.

While the pair both share striking blonde hair, Tizard is in fact just slightly taller than the Norwegian, standing an inch higher than Haaland at 6ft5in.

And just days after lifting the Premiership title, the Saracens lock took to Twitter to jokingly vent his frustrations at the comparisons between the two gigantic athletes.

Tizard tweeted: "Haaland the worst thing that ever happened to me, can't go anywhere without being mistaken for the greatest striker to ever play in premier league. Tough life."

However, while one fan couldn't see the comparison, claiming Tizard looked more like American actor Gary Busey, there were some who could definitely see a resemblance between the two.

One fan wrote: "Has anyone asked Haaland if people call him Tizz?" Another added: "He gets mistaken for English Premiership Champion and all round legend Hugh Tizard."

A third said: "Haaland wear Hugh Tizzard pyjamas." A fourth commented: "Other way around gent."
