The Daily Mail's Chris Foy reveals that the RFU paid for a free bar on the night the England players went on their infamous trip to the 'Altitude Bar' in Queenstown.
"The drunken night out that cost Mike Tindall his England career was partly paid for by the Rugby Football Union.
Former skipper Tindall is still awaiting a hearing date for his appeal against the £25,000 RFU fine imposed for his behaviour during England’s ill-fated World Cup campaign.
Meanwhile, Sportsmail can reveal the union encouraged the start of the infamous ‘dwarfgate’ night out and even arranged to pay for players’ drinks."
