Springboks and Sharks captain Siya Kolisi is accused of snubbing Chelsea player Cole Palmer following a meet and greet session after a football game at Stamford Bridge this week.
The popular player – who is an ardent fan of Liverpool FC – is in the UK ahead of the Sharks game against Cardiff Rugby this weekend.
SIYA KOLISI SHADES CHELSEA PLAYER?
On Monday, Siya Kolisi and fellow Sharks player Ox Nche attended Chelsea’s game against Wolves at the Stamford Stadium. The duo were invited onto the pitch after the game where they mingled with players. The local rugby stars also got to meet British rapper Central Cee.
Although Siya is pals with Chelsea’s Reece James, many social media users have accused him of being shady towards fellow player Cole Palmer in a clip that has gone viral.
In the clip, Siya is seen giving Cole the “side eye.” And social media users were quick to notice…
@bkonze92: “The look on Siya’si face…up and down!”
@bhunu.boy_: “Siya Kolisi is looking at them like Liverpool is number one on the table
Livpool13: “Siya is like, who the hell is this guy?”
Siya later posed for pics with former Chelsea star Demba Ba.
LIVERPOOL’S BIGGEST FAN
While in the UK, Siya Kolisi made a quick stop at Anfield, the home of his favourite team, Liverpool.
Both Siya and Ox Nche got to watch the Reds French side LOSC Lille 2-1 to secure a spot in the UEFA Champions League round of 16.

And the love and respect is mutual for former Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp, who has often sung the praises of the twice Rugby World Cup champion.
In fact, the German-born coach revealed that Siya had convinced him to start supporting the Springboks!
