Rugby NewsSunday, 19 April 2020 at 22:51
England Mike Tindall may not live in a castle, but his home with wife Zara and daughters Mia and Lena is in the gorgeous Gatcombe Park estate where Princess Anne also lives.
Aston Farm had been home to Zara’s father, Captain Mark Phillips, since his divorce from Anne in 1992.
Tindall and his family moved into the property in 2015 after a high-tech revamp was completed.
‘The new rooms include a gun room, gym, cinema and games room,’ an insider tells me. Permission for the changes were granted in November.
Tindall recently offered a rare look inside, appearing to be sat in a home office, with wooden cabinets and shelving behind him displaying a selection of framed photos, including one of their pet dogs and what appears to be portraits of their two daughters.
Tindall appeared high spirits as he shared his movie recommendations; the 2003 thriller.
Identity, a 2007 legal thriller called Fracture, which stars Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling, the Bruce Willis thriller Lucky Number Slevin, and Back to the Future
LIST | 6 internationals you didn’t know were still playing
Below, we have rounded up five internationals that we are certain you will be surprised to learn are still playing.
Did we miss anybody particularly noteworthy? Make sure you let us know in the comments below.
1. Kane Thompson
A real journeyman if there ever was one, Thompson has played for multiple teams around the world including stints in France, New Zealand, Japan, England and now America. The Samoa international had stints at the Highlanders and Chiefs in Super Rugby, as well as six different Mitre 10 Cup sides before rocking up in Major League Rugby to play for New Orleans Gold.
2. Dave Ward
The Premiership stalwart joined Ampthill's Championship squad for 2019-20 as Player/Coach. At international level he has represented the England under-18s, under-21s and Saxons.
3. Mike Tindall
England legend and World Cup winner Mike Tindall plays a selection of matches for Minchinhampton, the club close to his home. The centre played outside centre for Bath and Gloucester, and won 75 caps for England between 2000 and 2011. He was a member of the England squad which won the 2003 World Cup.
4. Alex Lutui
Lutui is an incredibly well-travelled player, having played in Super Rugby, the Premiership and PRO12 in his career. The hooker racked up 115 points in 181 appearances for Worcester Warriors between 2006-2013, so he certainly knows his way to the try line. Incredibly, the hooker still turns out for Ampthill aged 40.
5. Patrick Ah Van
The Super League legend, who starred for Bradford Bulls and Widnes Vikings between 2011 and 2018, made a late cross-code switch at the tailend his career, joining Sale FC in National League one. The winger, who played five times for Samoa, is still scoring regularly with Sale placed 11th before the season ended.
6. Shane Williams
The Wales legend made a return to Welsh rugby in 2017, coming out of retirement to play for his beloved Amman United. The former Wales and British Lions star stunned spectators as he took the field for his home town side in the National League 3 West B match against Burry Port. He then played for them in a final at the Millenium Stadium. He's since played a further handful of games for the club.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
