Crampons on the feet and oval ball in hand, it is in sportswear that Kate Middleton appeared at the Twickenham stadium for a very special training session.
The Duchess of Cambridge has indeed signed her first engagement as royal godmother of the British Rugby Federation and the national team.
For this occasion, the wife of Prince William threw herself into the fray with elegance.
She had worn a black jogging and sweater, stamped with a red rose, the emblem of the British XV.
And it is in this outfit that she was able to meet players, coaches and some referees.

All smiles, the Duchess of Cambridge did not just watch, but also participated in a few exercises between tries, lifts, drops and touches.
Earlier in the day, she announced the news on social media, saying: "I am delighted to become a patron of the Rugby Football League and the Rugby Football Union, two fantastic organizations which are committed to harnessing the power that sport can have to bring communities together and help individuals thrive.”
A title that she did not acquire by chance.
Indeed, his predecessor was his brother-in-law, Prince Harry, a big rugby fan who had inherited this title in 2010, named by his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
But the Duke of Sussex, after leaving for the United States, had all his royal sponsorships withdrawn, as did his wife, Meghan Markle.
