Mike Tindall Announces London Charity Event After Australia Rugby Trip

Mike and Zara Tindall recently made an unexpected appearance at the 2025 State of Origin rugby league decider in Sydney, where they supported the Queensland Maroons, who won the series 2-1 against New South Wales. The couple attended the match as guests of Nicole Slater, wife of Queensland coach Billy Slater, and were seen wearing Queensland's maroon colours while cheering enthusiastically from prime seats on the field. Despite Sydney's winter chill, they enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere and the experience of being close to the action, opting for the rugby match over Wimbledon, where Zara's brother Peter Phillips was spotted. Following their trip, Mike Tindall announced a charity event, the "Blackeye Gin x BOKEN Charity Night," set for November 7 in London, which he will co-host with his podcast colleagues James Haskell and Alex Payne. The couple's presence at the match and Mike's charity announcement highlight their ongoing involvement in rugby and charitable activities, with Mike also previewing a members-only podcast episode titled "The Lock In." Their close friendship with the Slater family and shared passion for rugby continue to be a significant part of their lives.
