Following the Springboks 2019 Rugby World Cup triumph in Japan which thrust Kolisi - who plays for the Cell C Sharks at club level - into iconic status, Liverpool invited him to one of their matches at the end of that year. This was a boon for Kolisi, who is an ardent Liverpool supporter.

In September, Kolisi called on Kaizer Chiefs fans to throw their weight behind new permanent Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane and his assistant Dillon Shepherd, as per The Citizen. The Amakhosi are Kolisi's team at home.

Siya Kolisi's popularity away from the rugby pitch remains as high as ever.

The Rugby World Cup-winning Springbok captain was seen in a photo alongside his wife Rachel, at Liverpool Football Club's AXA Training Centre in Kirkby, as reported by Sports Brief. This was part of an Adidas South Africa promotional tour, with Kolisi being its brand ambassador.

After what must have been a fantastic trip to the United Kingdom, Kolisi and his Bok teammates are currently on a demanding tour of Europe in November. They took on Ireland (lost 16-19), France (lost 30-26), Italy (won 63-21) and will play England on Saturday, seeking to finish an inconsistent season on a satisfying high against a famous foe.
