Press PagesVIDEO: Kolisi, Etzebeth and Du Plessis star in new ad

People are used to seeing our favourite sports stars doing what they do best. Rugby players like Siya Kolisi and Eben Etzebeth have won World Cups, and Dricus du Plessis is a UFC world champion. What you might not expect is to see them being the hilarious main characters in an advertisement.

LekkeSlaap is a local travel accommodation booking site that has been claiming its place in the market with top service and top ads. In their latest production, they called upon the talents of Springbok heavyweights Siya Kolisi and Eben Etzebeth and another SA sporting heavyweight, who is technically a middleweight, Dricus du Plessis.

The video starts with Kolisi and Eben being confronted by a policeman-like figure or coach. They are questioned about their whereabouts and why they sneaked out of their hotel. We then see Siya and Eben hilariously trying to pull off the "two people in a trenchcoat" trope. Dricus enters the picture, and they have all sorts of fun.

There's even a pillow fight.
