Unfiltered Bloem Stories: Helgard Müller, Rassie & Jaco Peyper Reconnect

From Despatch to Bloemfontein — in this special episode of Rassie+, Rassie Erasmus sits down with two Free State rugby legends: Jaco Peyper and Helgard Müller.

They dive deep into the golden era of Cheetahs rugby, reliving the journey of breaking a 29-year title drought, and the transition from player to coach. Rassie and Jaco share hilarious stories from their varsity days — including when Jaco used to ref Rassie’s games (and wasn’t afraid to blow the whistle against him!).

This episode is packed with behind-the-scenes insights, untold stories, and plenty of laughs from three men who helped define Free State rugby.
