By Andrew Levy UPDATED: 08:48 EST, 11 October 2011 Given the scandal it caused, you might think his drunken antics with an old flame would be the last thing Mike Tindall would want to  joke about. Yet as he boarded a plane home from New Zealand yesterday – after England were dumped out of the Rugby World Cup by France at the weekend – he was all smiles as team mate Manu Tuilagi re-enacted the notorious nightclub encounter. In fact, with their larking about at Auckland airport, the England players had the look of returning champions. They certainly didn’t look like a team ashamed of poor performances on the field and poor behaviour off it.
