"Yeah, they throw you straight out of the WhatsApp group. Oh, it is unbelievable. "Literally; honestly, as soon as you are named back in [the squad]. it's like, 'Welcome back. How is everyone?'

Looking ahead to England's autumn internationals, Tindall has set a 'minimum requirement' of three wins from four if this Test window is to be deemed a success.
"I know they're hit by injuries," Tindall added, "but they've had success against Australia and they need to continue that... The way they finished off against South Africa - and the rugby they played in those three games - shows they were back to playing with an attacking intent.
"They need to continue with that, and shore up their defence. They're at home so they have to be winning and putting in a good performance against New Zealand."
Asked by Payne if England are currently set up to do just that, Tindall responded, "Em, no. Probably not.
"I still believe that the players are good enough but it's just whether they can go back to playing that rugby where they actually threaten people... I want to see quick-tap penalties and England lifting the pace of the game, which got them the success."
