That Prince Harry, ey? The young Royal was yesterday pictured getting his hands (and knees) dirty with a slew of budding young rugby players in the hallowed grounds of Twickenham, challenging them to a bit of a match.

The fourth-in-line to the throne was also joined on the day by former England rugby player Jason Robinson and mid-match the two seen engaging in tackle. Oo-er. Ahead of the training session, Robinson joked that Harry's skills on the pitch would be under the spotlight: "I'll be looking to see what you've got." But the 29-year-old prince was quick to quip: "I think I'm a bit past it already."

As Patron of the RFU, Harry's sporty day out was actually an official engagement to promote the The All Schools Programme which aims to increase school involvement in the sport ahead of England hosting the 2015 World Cup.
