Across five Rugby World Cup appearances Van Jaarsveld has shown consistent involvement on both sides of the ball, contributing steadily in the carry and putting in a disciplined shift at the tackle. His defensive numbers stand out in particular, averaging over five tackles per match with a peak of nine in a single game, suggesting he is heavily relied upon to do the hard yards in the loose. His carrying reflects a front-rower who works within the team's structure rather than seeking individual impact, bringing reliability and physicality to Namibia's forward effort.
