Former England rugby captain, Mike Tindall, recently shared unique insights into his daughters’ enthusiasm for sports.

Lena, displaying a keen interest in following her father’s footsteps, has developed a deep affection for the game.

On the other hand, their elder daughter, Mia, exhibits a preference for supporting the Australian rugby team rather than the English team.

During an interview, Mike disclosed, “They are avid followers of sports and were engrossed in last year’s World Cup matches.”

The close-knit Tindall family shares a special bond with Australia, often choosing the country as their holiday destination.

It was in Australia where Mike and Zara Tindall first crossed paths in 2003 at a local bar.

Zara, then on a gap year from university, was exploring New Zealand and Australia when their paths converged.

When questioned about his desire to see his children represent England in sports, Mike expressed, “While it would be delightful if they did, I believe in allowing them to find their own paths without any pressure.”

Despite Mia’s current inclination towards supporting the Australian rugby team, Mike remains optimistic about her evolving interests.

He mentioned, “Mia’s affections lie with Australia for now, so we will observe how her preferences develop over time.

Lena, on the other hand, actively engages in sports, leaving us eager to witness her future pursuits.”

The Tindalls welcomed a son, Lucas, into their family in 2021.

Mike fondly recounted how Lucas’s first encounter with sports was watching a rugby match just moments after his birth.

With a rich history in the sporting realm, the Tindall family has left significant marks.

Mike played a vital role in England’s triumph at the 2003 Rugby World Cup, while Zara clinched an equestrian silver medal at the London 2012 Olympics.

Reflecting on their journey, Mike expressed his hopes that their children, too, would find joy and passion in sports.

As the Tindall siblings gradually explore their interests, the family’s legacy in the world of sports continues to unfold, promising exciting possibilities for the future.
