WATCH: Victor Matfield playfully tackles UFC champ Dricus du Plessis
The duo we didn't know we needed!
A viral video is buzzing on social media, showing former Springbok Victor Matfield in a light-hearted scuffle with newly crowned champion Dricus du Plessis.
Captured at Loftus Stadium after the Bulls vs. Stormers game on 2 March, the video's origin remains a mystery.
In the clip, Dricus is seen mingling with friends when Matfield sneaks up on him. What follows is a playful takedown, with Matfield putting Dricus in a headlock and the two tumbling onto a nearby couch.
Take a look at the hilarious clip here:
