“I was slightly annoyed with Clive so I went out for a beer with Austin who was flown in for one night,” before adding that Zara’s brother, Peter Phillips was out in Australia and so were several of her friends
Zara continued: “We were just there for rugby, I actually had gone to New Zealand first and came back for the semis and the final.

Recalling the terrifying injury he sustained after playing Wales in 2008, which left him with a tear in his liver and a punctured lung, Mike said: “My first memory of that was when I was going into the changing rooms and her walking in with a pint glass of white wine in her hand.
“She was like ‘Are you alright?’ I was like ‘Oh are we jolly are we?'”
“I had to leave my pint of white wine in the changing room when I went in the ambulance with him, I probably should have taken it with me,” revealed Zara.
