Liverpool – After a grueling Rugby Championship campaign for the Springboks, finishing second on the table narrowly behind the All Blacks, Springbok captain Siya Kolisi and his wife Rachel took some much-deserved time off to visit the football club that they support – Liverpool FC.
The couple also met up with the Merseyside club’s manager, Jurgen Klopp.
Hinting at his visit, Kolisi first posted on Instagram that he would be travelling to England.
“To London with @adidasza,” the caption read.

However, it seemed like he and his wife, took a detour when he posted a picture with Liverpool midfielder, Thiago Alcantara while Rachel posted a picture of her and her husband with Jurgen Klopp.
They both seemed to be star-struck during their visit to the English football club.
“Impossible to put yesterday into words! @liverpoolfc thank you for having us!
Thank you for making it possible @adidasza Fam,” Rachel captioned the post.
