Mike Tindall, who married Queen Elizabeth II's granddaughter in July (11), was fined $40,000 (£25,000) and banned from the squad after he was found guilty of ""unacceptable behaviour"" during the recent Rugby World Cup.

Tindall had been pictured chatting to a mystery blonde at a bar on a night out in Queenstown, New Zealand during the showpiece sporting event in September (11).

Tindall, who won the Rugby World Cup with England in 2003, has played for his country 75 times.
