Mike Tindall has been pictured with a bloodied face after participating in a rugby match.

The trio previously presented a live show in Brisbane, Australia, last week.

A post on the official The Good, The Bad & The Rugby Instagram page said: "Tins wearing 13, humanity restored.

"Solid effort from the chief last night against the Classic Wallabies."

The post was accompanied by pictures and videos of Mike Tindall featuring in the rugby match.

Mike and Zara's Australian visit also included attending the State of Origin rugby league decider in Sydney.

The couple were guests of former Queensland fullback Billy Slater and Nicole Rose for the match, where they witnessed Queensland's commanding 24-12 victory over New South Wales.

Queensland secured their 25th State of Origin series with the decisive victory at the packed Sydney venue, having forced a decider after their narrow 26-24 win in Perth.

The match marked the culmination of the three-game series, with Queensland bouncing back from their opening 18-6 defeat.
