MIA THE MAULER!

How the beleaguere­d England team could do with Tindall’s tiny terror

- By Miles Dilworth

IT looks like Mia Tindall has been having some training from her father.

The four-year-old floored her seven-year-old cousin Savannah Phillips yesterday in a friendly tackle as her parents watched the Gatcombe horse trials in Gloucester­shire.

Her technique had all the hallmarks of her 3 -year-old father, former rugby internatio­nal Mike Tindall, when he was in his prime. Indeed, England could have done with a helping of Mia’s spirit in this year’s Six Nations tournament.

The team had their worst performanc­e in years, finishing fifth in the table.
