‘Great night at the rugby with the Rabbitohs, Russell Crowe and good friends!’ Elsa captioned her Instagram post.

While a second photo saw Elsa posing with her famous gal pals, including Isla, 45, Natalie, 39, and Sabrina, 31, inside the VIP box at Stadium Australia.   

Oscar winner Natalie and husband Benjamin, 43, showed their support for the Rabbitohs by wearing caps with their signature bunny logo on the front.

Natalie looked very engaged in the game, gazing out at the scoreboard anxiously. 

Meanwhile, Chris chatted happily with Jurassic Park actor Jeff, 68, who opted for an all-black outfit with a matching Rabbitohs cap. 

American Jeff paid attention to the quintessentially Australia game, cheering on the team and clapping when goals were scored.

Very animated was die-hard Rabbitohs fan and owner of the club, Russell, who appeared to be absolutely hooked on what was unfolding on the field.  

Isla also engaged Russell in conversation, the pair appearing shocked at the score, with the actress looking quite disappointed at one stage. 

The Wedding Crashers star, who held a glass of Champagne, was very excited indeed, pointing, shouting and cheering as the game went on as she sat beside model Sabrina.

Chris has been working on the new marvel film, Thor: Love and Thunder, in Sydney, along with Jeff, Natalie and Tessa.   

The film is largely being shot at Sydney’s Fox Studios, but elaborate structures have been seen at nearby Centennial Park, as well as Little Bay. 

Thor: Love and Thunder is due for cinematic release in May 2022.
