Prince William and Kate made an unofficial visit to a rugby match on Saturday evening.

No sooner had the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived back in the city after day of engagements in Queensland's capital Brisbane, the couple headed to watch the round 10 Super Rugby match between the New South Wales Waratahs and the South African Blue Bulls.
