Rugby star Mike Tindall is in the headlines, and it’s not just for his legendary playing days with England! Mike’s bold new plans for a “breakaway” global rugby union franchise, R360, a thrilling 12-franchise league, have stirred quite the buzz. But with innovation comes drama, especially when you’re part of the Royal Family!
The daring project is set to feature eight men’s and four women’s teams, jet-setting around the world in a “Grand Prix-style” showdown. Sounds exciting, right? However, word on the street is that Mike’s ambitious endeavour might not sit well with the traditional rugby circles, nor with some of his family’s esteemed members.
There’s chatter that Mike might face a stern “Royal earbashing” from the Firm’s top players. The Mail’s Ephraim Hardcastle hints at potential family tensions, suggesting that taking on iconic figures like Princess Anne and other royal rugby patrons could be quite the challenge. Princess Anne, a long-time Scottish Rugby Union patron, is not one to be trifled with, so there might be more than just rugby talk in the Tindall household!
While Mike is making waves with R360, he’s no stranger to high stakes and tackling tough issues. Zara, his wife and daughter of Princess Anne, once stealthily encouraged Mike to address his nose injury after being concerned about his health. Talk about teamwork!
Despite the potential royal rumblings, Mike’s got his eyes set on shaking up rugby. Will he break new ground or face a hard ruck with the royals? Only time will tell in this regal rugby saga! 🚀🏉👑
