Mia Tindall, 6, could have a future in her dad's field of expertise.

Tindall shared the family rugby story while on podcast The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, hosted by Alex Payne and former rugby star James Haskell. Tindall recently visited Minchinhampton, where he plays for the town's amateur RFC in league Gloucester 2.

While there, daughter Mia, 6, tried her hand at the sport. "She enjoyed it actually," Mike shared, "and she's going to do football for the first time this weekend as well."

"She's a chip off the old block," he added. "She just likes to truck it up, but we'll work on that." Asked about Mia's playing style, the father-of-two said, "she's quite aggressive."

"That's probably her mother?" Haskell asked, jokingly. "Yeah it's a combination of both I think," Tindall replied.
