WATCH: Boks mingle with Chelsea stars

Cape Town - It seems that there are a few Chelsea supporters in the Springbok squad. 

The Premier League champions released footage this week on their Twitter page of numerous Boks visiting them at their Cobham training ground in Surrey. 

Bok players seen meeting the Chelsea superstars included JP Pietersen, Jesse Kriel, Lood de Jager, Siya Kolisi and Eben Etzebeth. 

John Terry, Oscar and Cesc Fabregas were among the Chelsea players who engaged with the Boks, while lethal striker Diego Costa appeared taken aback at how tall Etzebeth was. 

Both sides will be in action at the same time on Saturday. The Boks take on New Zealand at Twickenham in the tournament semi-finals while Chelsea take a short trip to West Ham United for a Premier League clash.
