A rugby player in West Yorkshire showed ingenuity at the end of a recent game when he feigned an injury to lure his girlfriend onto the pitch before getting down on one knee.

Chris Robinson was playing for his home team, Greetland Allrounders, when he used a tackle as an excuse to stay down. In the video, recorded by referee Daniel Tindall’s body camera, the physio can be seen coming on, while opposing players ask the ref to penalize Robinson for time-wasting.

Robinson’s girlfriend, Amanda Tuckwell, then comes onto the pitch, whereupon the ruse is revealed as Robinson pops the question.

Greetland Allrounders posted the footage to their Facebook page where they congratulated the happy couple. Credit: Daniel Tindall via Storyful
