The South African national rugby team recently took a trip to Paris to catch Paris-Saint Germain's fixture against Lille after being invited by President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. They attended the game at the Parc des Princes, PSG's home ground.

The Springboks appeared to enjoy their time in Paris and were smiling from ear to ear as they posed for a quick picture. PSG's social media team posted the snap and captioned it:

"Great to see the @Springboks, who were invited by President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi to the Parc des Princes to attend #PSGLOSC!"

The Springboks are considered one of the best rugby teams in the world and were honoured to attend the event. They even got to mingle with the club's hierarchy and were given pleasant treatment for visiting.

Siya Kolisi shares lovely snaps of his time in France

Briefly News previously reported that Siya Kolisi is in Bordeaux, not the one in Gauteng but the legit one in France. He is there with the rest of the Springboks ahead of their next tour.

The Springbok captain shared a number of amazing snaps of his experiences walking the street of the historic French city.

Some of the snaps were playful; he roped in Elton Jantjies in one that made it appear that they just happened to walk past each other in a picturesque street. He also posted with the William Webb Ellis Cup. The next Rugby World Cup will be held in France in 2023.
