Practicing your drop goals? Kate Middleton jokes with George Ford after his winning performance in England's Rugby World Cup victory over Argentina

A video has been shared on Instagram of Kate Middleton (pictured) meeting the England Rugby team - and joking with George Ford (pictured) asking whether he has been practising drop goals. The Princess of Wales, 41, was part of the 60,000-strong crowd as she watched the match at the Stade de Marseille, France, on Saturday. England beat Argentina 27-10, despite being a man down after Tom Curry was shown a red card in the fourth minute, with George Ford scoring all 27 of the points. And after the match, Kate, who is patron of the Rugby Football Union, met some of the players. A clip of the meeting was shared by England Rugby on Instagram, where it quickly garnered in excess of 15,000 likes within an hour. In the short video, the royal is seen asking George Ford: 'Have you been practicing your drop goals?' The player laughs, as another teammate says 'he's a natural', and Kate says 'amazing', presumably in response to the player's performance.
