Watch – Siya Kolisi visits Anfield: Here’s what he got up to in Liverpool

Greatness recognises greatness. With the European Champions Liverpool soaring high at the moment, the Anfield-based club welcomed another born-winner to their manor on Wednesday night. South Africa’s Rugby World Cup-winning captain Siya Kolisi got to watch his beloved Reds live, and had a whale of a time.

Kolisi was in attendance for Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Napoli in the Champions League. Although his presence couldn’t quite carry the Scousers over the line, he was given a red-hot reception by everyone at the club. His star power doesn’t just shine through Mzansi, you know…

The Liverpool manager had previously visited the captain in SA just a few weeks ago. Siya told Sky Sports News that he “fell off his chair” when his hero walked in the room:

“He is such an amazing human being and I understand why the boys play so hard for him. He came and greeted every single person at the table and spoke to me for over 40 minutes. When I saw him I fell off my chair!”
