Cape Town – Rachel Kolisi, the wife of Springbok captain Siya Kolisi, posted on Instagram about her experience taking a train from Paris to London with her two kids.
The family’s move to Paris occurred ahead of Siya’s transfer to Racing 92 after the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
Rachel booked the Eurostar train via the @sncfconnect app, finding it easy to navigate in English, and advised booking early.
“I booked on the @sncfconnect (app) you can book trains almost anywhere in Europe. It’s also in English, and super easy to navigate, and gives options of all trains and different costs. NB, book as soon as you know you travelling! Paid so much for this trip to London, booked the rest of our travel for World Cup games and was so much cheaper.

“Scanned our tickets (Usually a QR code from the app booking) but there was a issue with ours so had to print tickets. Then they do a passport/visa check and bags go through a scan too. (There didn’t seem to be a huge limit with bag weight, we took 2 carry on size bags, but others had big bags),” she wrote.
Despite a slight hiccup with the tickets, Rachel had a positive overall experience.
She had previously shared their first days in Paris, including their arrival and adjusting to the new environment.
