The story
In a snippet for a special SuperSport programme paying tribute to rugby star Eben Etzebeth becoming the most capped Springbok, Siya Kolisi relived a hilarious Premier League match memory.
Etzebeth and Kolisi looked back on how the latter angered Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge, in support of his beloved Liverpool back in 2015.
As revealed in Kolisi's autobiography, "Rise", it was the first time the rugby icon was watching the Reds live and was accompanied by his best friend and enforcer, Etzebeth.
The dynamic duo bared witness to a come-from-behind win for Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool, who beat Jose Mourinho's Chelsea 3-1 curtesy of a Phillipe Coutinho brace.
Kolisi angered a section of Chelsea fans by celebrating a Liverpool equaliser and much to the two-time Rugby World Cup-winning captain, he had Eben for protection.

Before Kolisi's awkward moment at the Bridge, he and Etzebeth were joined by the Sprinbok teammates at the time in a visit to Chelsea's Cobham Training base.
Kolisi, Etzebeth and fellow SA rugby legends, Damian De Allende and Jesse Kriel were seen mingling with Chelsea's Eden Hazard, Diego Costa and former captain, John Terry before their 2015 Rugby World Cup semi-final against the All Blacks in London, which they lost 18-20.
