South Africans have taken to trolling former England player Mike Tindall, who trash-talked the Springboks ahead of their Rugby World Cup semi-final showdown this weekend.

Tindall – who is married to King Charles’s niece Zara Phillips – revealed his disdain for the boys in green and gold. He even claimed that it would be a “disgrace” if the Boks won the World Cup again.

“The irony is most Saffa fans always moan about the ref. A
