A proud supporter of Liverpool FC, Kolisi has got more chances to watch The Reds in action and has also shared those moments with others. Having visited Anfield before, while also rubbing shoulders with the players and Jurgen Klopp, Kolisi is always eager to watch the team in action.

The World Cup winner took to social media recently to share photos of him enjoying the clash between Arsenal and Liverpool at the Emirates.

Kolisi enjoyed the moment with his son Nicholas and was also seen in one photo with fellow Bok star, Damian Willemse.

Unfortunately for Kolisi, the game didn’t finish the way he would have liked, as The Gunners claimed a 3-1 win over the league leaders. Mikel Arteta’s men are now just two points behind The Reds on the Premier League table.

Kolisi shares his love of Liverpool

Even when he hasn’t been able to watch the side compete at home, Kolisi is still making sure others have that privilege.

He recently arranged that Springbok coach Jacques Nienaber got to experience Anfield in all its glory during an EPL clash. Nienaber got to witness as The Kop belted out 'You Never Walk Alone' ahead of a clash.

Sports Brief reported in 2022 how Springbok captain Siya Kolisi and his wife Rachel met Jurgen Klopp at the club's training facilities.

The Kolisi’s got to visit the AXA Training facilities as part of an Adidas South Africa promotional tour and met the Liverpool gaffer.

Siya is a huge fan of The Reds and visited Anfield not long after South Africa beat England in the 2019 Rugby World Cup final.
