The story
English football legend, Ian Wright has expressed his admiration for rugby mega star and Springboks captain, Siya Kolisi.
On the latest episode of The Overlap's "Stick to Football" podcast, the legendary Gunners striker was positively taken aback by Kolisi's stature when he met the Sharks loose forward.
"You know who I met, who is not only like bigger but like his aura, what comes off him is Siya Kolisi, South African rugby captain. He has an aura and power," noted Wright, with co-host and former Manchester United captain, Roy Keane agreeing.

Kolisi's crossovers into the English football world continue to become more prominent as the Liverpool fan has budding friendship with former Reds head coach, Jurgen Klopp and current Chelsea club captain, Reece James.
After Kolisi captained the Boks to a 29-20 win over England last Saturday, he swapped jerseys with James who brought along one of his Chelsea jerseys with him to the match, for the moment.
