The Bok captain has been swamped with messages of congratulations following his teamβs achievements in winning a third Rugby World Cup crown, but Kolisi was left astounded when the Champions League-winning manager approached him to commend him on the Springboksβ success.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, the Bok captain β who is a big fan of Liverpool football club β explained how the encounter with Klopp left him lost for words.

βHe came and greeted every single person at the table and spoke to me for over 40 minutes,β said the awestruck Bok captain. βWhen I saw him I fell off my chair! Everyone around me didnβt understand but Iβve got huge respect for him. He said he knew who I was and that he watched the final.β
