Rugby Unfiltered launches with two legends of the game, Jan de Koning and Eugene “Loffie” Eloff, and they waste no time getting straight to the heart of Rassie Erasmus’s latest Springbok squad.Even though it’s not South Africa’s strongest possible lineup, this team to face Japan says a lot about Rassie’s plans and the depth he’s building. From André Esterhuizen’s hybrid role on the bench to Cheslin Kolbe starting at fullback, every selection tells a story.Jan and Loffie bring decades of combined rugby experience to the table - one as a globally respected journalist, the other as a Junior World Cup-winning coach. Together, they break down what this team means, what Japan might throw back, and why the All Blacks v Ireland clash in Chicago could shape the rugby narrative for the rest of the season.No spin. No filters. Just rugby. Rugby Unfiltered, where experience meets honesty!
