The Telegraph's Gavin Mairs chats to Iain Balshaw - the best man at Mike Tindall's wedding - about how the England centre is coping following the recent high-profile events.

"Iain Balshaw, who was best man at the July wedding of Mike Tindall to the Queen’s granddaughter, Zara Phillips, has no doubts that his former Bath and Gloucester team-mate will come through the crisis that has seen him stripped of his England place, fined £25,000 and publicly humiliated.

“He showed in Sunday’s Heineken Cup performance against Toulouse that he has the ability to bounce back and I’m sure that’s exactly what he will do,” said Balshaw, in European action himself last weekend for Biarritz against the Ospreys.

“Considering what’s happened to him over the last five or six weeks, it was a fantastic display. He’s a bit frustrated about everything that has gone on. I don’t know the full extent of the story but he knows that he’s probably had one too many. He’s in good spirits, though.”
