Across 43 matches Jansen has established himself as a high-volume ball-carrier and consistent tackler, averaging over ten carries and nine-and-a-half tackles per game — a workload that points to a central role in both attack and defence. His 17 tries from the number eight position underline an ability to convert that carrying threat into scores. Single-game peaks of 25 carries and 23 tackles suggest he is capable of shouldering an even heavier burden when the occasion demands.
