Across 46 matches Jansen sustains an exceptional workload, averaging nearly ten and a half carries and close to ten tackles per game — figures that point to a number eight who drives both the gainline and the defensive line with real consistency. His single-game peaks of 25 carries and 23 tackles confirm he is capable of lifting that output significantly when the contest demands it. With 18 tries from that volume of involvement, he also converts his presence at the breakdown into genuine attacking reward.
