Tindall calls it quits
MIKE Tindall, part of the England side that won the 2003 World Cup, announced his retirement from rugby yesterday.
The 35-year-old, who turned out 75 times for his country, wrote on his Twitter feed: “After 17 years it’s time to retire from rugby.” Tindall, who married to Queen Elizabeth II’s granddaughter Zara Phillips in 2011, was pivotal to England’s Grand Slam victory in 2003, but found himself in hot water in a wretched 2011 World Cup campaign in New Zealand. England’s disappointing performance in 2011 led to coach Martin Johnson’s exit and the end of Tindall’s international career, after the center was criticized for a night out during the tournament.
