Sebastiaan Jobb's 2026 season reads like a redemption arc compressed into a few months — from watching Cape Town's trophy lift in the crowd to being on the field for wins in Perth, Vancouver, New York and Hong Kong. His path there wasn't clean: two red cards in back-to-back Singapore appearances across 2024 and 2025 nearly derailed him, and he was cut from the squad entirely for Dubai and Cape Town at the start of last season. What kept him relevant was a strong showing in Mauritius and a decision to work inward rather than outward when things went wrong. Now embedded in a Blitzboks squad he describes as intensely detail-driven, Jobb is making the case that wing in sevens demands a complete game — not just finishing on the outside. With Snyman yet to name his travelling party for Valladolid and Bordeaux, Jobb is taking nothing for granted despite the historic run.
Jobb's hunger hasn't cooled after four straight titles
Sebastiaan Jobb reflects on a remarkable personal turnaround — from red-card misery and squad omissions to four consecutive titles — and makes clear the Blitzboks aren't treating the final two European legs as a lap of honour.
