Jantjies consistently makes his mark as a replacement through his tackling output, averaging over five hits per appearance across his three Rugby World Cup matches and reaching double figures in his standout game. His carry numbers are modest and his metres gained minimal, pointing to a role built almost entirely around defensive contribution rather than ball-carrying. The pattern is reliable rather than explosive — a finisher who arrives on the field to shore up the defensive line.
