Hi I'm Natalie and welcome to Talking Sport.

Today we are talking about rugby.

The 2011 Rugby Union World Cup will be taking place in New Zealand in September.

The English rugby team are playing practice matches before they play Argentina in the World cup.

Let's hear from English rugby player Mike Tindall.

What does he hope from these practice games?

Listen out for the phrases ‘gain momentum’ and ‘we're really flying'.
