The pair walked down memory lane, with Siya sharing when he and Eben went to a soccer match between Liverpool and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge football stadium in England.

Siya comically shared:

"I'm a Liverpool fan, and we were sitting by the Chelsea fans. We had a few drinks, and I was lekker warm. Chelsea scored first, and Liverpool equalised.

"I stood up and screamed. I was so happy. Everybody was quiet and turned to look at me. Then, I knew ek is in die k*k hier (I'm in trouble here)."

The Springboks captain said that Eben stood up from his seat, wearing a T-shirt that showed his muscles, calming everyone down.
