The sighting has generated excitement among Buccaneers supporters, with many viewing it as another indication of the club's popularity beyond South African borders.
The New Zealand rugby players were reportedly seen wearing Orlando Pirates jerseys while in Scotland as they prepared for their upcoming November fixtures in the Nations Championship.
