Richie’s mother commented on the post: “Amazing time had by all”.

Last night, Tonga beat Papua New Guinea by six points, despite Tonga missing a penalty.

This month, the Leeds Rhinos ace announced that he was expecting another child with his new girlfriend Stephanie Thirkill - who is the daughter of the President of the club he plays for.

It is unknown if Stephanie was in attendance at the match.

Helen is currently a contestant on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, alongside Spanish professional dancer Gorka Márquez.
