Sebastiaan Jobb's 2025/26 season reads like a redemption arc — dropped for the opening legs, two red cards haunting his recent history, and a spell watching teammates celebrate from the Cape Town stands. What changed was largely internal: a brutal off-season training regime with his wife and brother-in-law at Kuilsriver, dietary and lifestyle adjustments, and a deliberate shift in mindset away from external blame. The results have been emphatic — tries and turnovers across the Perth, Vancouver, New York and Hong Kong finals, and a World Championship gold medal alongside the SVNS series title. Now, with Valladolid and Bordeaux still to come, Jobb is making no assumptions about selection and is pushing hard to ensure Philip Snyman's squad announcement includes his name.
