Tindall chucked out of England squad

ENGLAND centre Mike Tindall has been removed from the elite squad and fined 25,000 pounds (US$40,000) for his off-field antics at the World Cup in New Zealand when he attracted negative publicity after being photographed on a night out in Queenstown.

Pictures in the English tabloid Sun newspaper showed England players at various bars after their opening 13-9 win over Argentina, including one featuring a dwarf-racing competition. Suspended fines of 5,000 pounds, have also been handed out to winger Chris Ashton and forward James Haskell, until December 31 2012, for their part in events in Dunedin two days earlier while forward Dylan Hartley has been cleared of any involvement. Tindall has captained England before and in July married the Queen of England's granddaughter Zara Phillips, a former equestrian world champion.
