Kylian Mbappe and his French teammates took a night off from their Euro 2024 qualifying schedule to watch France open their Rugby World Cup campaign in style – even though it looked like he didn’t quite follow what was going on in the game.<\/p>\n
The World Cup hosts got their tournament off to a flyer with a 27-13 win over New Zealand and were watched on by several of their fellow countrymen from the French football squad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Spotted in the crowd was Mbappe alongside Ousmane Dembele, Antoine Griezmann and Dayot Upamecano, surrounded by happy French fans over the performance of their rugby team.<\/p>\n
Mbappe seemed to be enjoying himself taking in the big occasion, although some of his facial expressions seemed to suggest he wasn’t completely up to speed with how the game is played.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, the PSG superstar celebrated alongside his French teammates during the World Cup opener at the Stade de France in Paris.\u00a0<\/p>\n
