Mike Tindall has joked how he wanted the Duchess of Cambridge to mess up when she took to the rugby pitch so he could tease her on the family WhatsApp group.
Kate showed off her skills and was lifted in a lineout at Twickenham last week after becoming patron of the England Rugby Football Union and Rugby Football League.
But former England rugby player Mike, who is married to Prince William's cousin Zara, had to admit Kate looked effortless as she joined in a training session alongside players such as Leicester Tigers prop Ellis Genge.
