Kate Middleton and Prince William always seem like they're on the move!

Last Saturday the Royal couple was spotted at the Autumn international Rugby Match at the Millennium Stadium in Wales.

The game was between the Welsh Red Dragons and the All Blacks of New Zealand.

Before the game started though, there was a reception for injured former players.

Will and Kate are patrons of the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust, which supports rugby athletes who were injured while playing for Wales.

They're Royal, gorgeous and charitable too! They're the best couple around!

Way to give back to the community!

Check out some more pics (below) from the event!

It takes a brave man to step into the ring as a professional boxer.

It takes an even braver man to come out as a gay man AND a professional athlete.

Well Orlando Cruz must be one of the bravest guys around then because only a few weeks after coming out as gay, he won a fight!!

After winning by unanimous decision, he said:

Prison isn't really the ideal place to make money, and Floyd Mayweather Jr. likes to make money.

He was in the top 50 of the highest-paid athletes of 2012, chosen by Forbes (he has earned more than $200 mil) — and he wanted it to stay that way, so he placed a crazy bet on the Dallas Cowboys season opener.
