Springbok captain Siya Kolisi has arranged for his father to watch him in Saturday's World Cup final - his first-ever overseas trip - and Kolisi senior headed straight for Disneyland.

Kolisi, the first black captain of the South Africa rugby union team, grew up in the poor township of Zwide outside Port Elizabeth and his father has never left the country until now.

"I'm really happy that I could organize for him to come. He got here early this morning. It's his first time overseas so it's something different for him," the 28-year-old said in Tokyo.

Assistant coach Mzwandile Stick interrupted to say, "He's actually in Disneyland now."

Kolisi will not only lead out his country in a World Cup final, but also celebrate his 50th cap and he revealed that his father had watched him live once before - for his South Africa debut.

"It's one of the things that I'm grateful about playing rugby," said Kolisi, who has also arranged for his best friend to watch the game in Yokohama near Tokyo.
