TV3's Rachel Smalley is in a Twitter spat with former England rugby captain Will Carling over Mike Tindall's antics on a night out in Queenstown.
The Firstline presenter commented on Carling's Twitter page: "They're drunk, groping women and slamming shots - in public. They're ambassadors for the game at the very highest level."
Carling hit back with: "Wow! So rugby players cant drink in public in NZ??"
Smalley, who lived in the UK for several years, replied: "Yes they can - and they do. They just don't act like arrogant Eton school boys on the piss and on the pull. It's a RWC!"
Carling then accused Smalley of classism.
