Last night, Kylian Mbappe, the French football star and international, was present at the Stade de France to show his support for the national rugby team.
However, it appears that the intricacies of the game's laws might still elude the striker.
One fan wrote: "Kylian Mbappé discovers rugby, but the rules still seem vague!"
A second commented: "e raised his hands because others did,"
Another said: "He is so lost and confused."
"Absolutely no clue what's going one, but at least Mbappe is having a good time."

Dan Carters dream all-time XV is almost unbeatable
Throughout his 18-year professional career, which started in New Zealand and ended in Japan, Carter played with and against some of the greatest players ever.
Here is the full team he selected:
BACK-THREE:
- 15. Ben Smith (New Zealand)
- 14. Bryan Habana (South Africa)
- 11. Jonah Lomu (New Zealand)
Carter on Lomu: "“He was the toughest player. I played against him once, I was 19-year-old and tried to tackle him, kinda woke up five metres back. He changed the game of rugby."
CENTRES:
- 13. Brian O'Driscoll (Ireland)
- 12. Ma'a Nonu (New Zealand)
Carter on O'Driscoll: “Two giants of the game that have worn the green jersey were Paul O’Connell and Brian O’Driscoll. Their work rate and how they conducted themselves on and off the pitch was exemplary.”
HALFBACKS:
- 10. Jonny Wilkinson (England)
- 9. Aaron Smith (New Zealand)
Carter on Wilkinson: "Someone I really looked up to and I tried to have a similar work ethic. The 2005 Lions tour was a bit of a fanboy moment for me."
FRONT-ROW:
- 1. Tendai Mtawarira (South Africa)
- 2. Dane Coles (New Zealand)
- 3. Olo Brown (New Zealand)
SECOND-ROW:
- 4. Paul O'Connell (Ireland)
- 5. Brodie Retallick (New Zealand)
BACK-ROW:
- 6. Schalk Burger (South Africa)
- 7. Richie McCaw (New Zealand)
- 8. Thierry Dusautoir (France)
Carter on Burger: "“A real competitor and absolute top bloke off the field as well. His mindset was a little bit different when he was out there competing. That just made him such a tough opponent to come up against.”
Carter on Dusautoir: "He had some blinding games in big moments — none more so than in the 2007 and 2011 World Cup games against the All Blacks."
Carter on McCaw: "I learnt a lot from playing alongside my old mate. A real leader and took us to back-to-back World Cups. Thank God I was never on the opposite side!"
