During the celebrations, there was an unfortunate moment for captain Kolisi and his wife Rachel.
During the open-top bus tour, a fan attempted to throw a ball to the South African star.
However, the woman misjudged her throw, and instead of getting the ball to Kolisi, she instead hit Rachel in the head with the ball.
After seeing her blunder unfold in front of her eyes, the fan looked mortified.
Rachel had to sit down after suffering the blow as those around checked on her.
Kolisi himself looked shocked as he offered a hand to check that she was OK.
Rachel has since appeared to be in good spirits about the accident as she shared a clip on her Instagram story with a laughing emoji.
She also wrote: “You know when you trip in fall in public and you really hope no one saw it – it was a great throw.”

Kolisi also admitted that he should have caught the ball.
He added: “I should’ve caught! Perfect throw! But @rachelkolisi should always be expecting the ball 😂 that’s what my school coach always told me.”
Fans were quick to comment on the moment on social media.
One fan joked: “Can we protect the First Lady please.”
A second added: “Nah. Siya’s face makes this more funny.”
