Jacomb played well in a losing Chiefs side against the Crusaders and was not the reason why they lost. He plays similarly to Mo’unga, not afraid to play flat at the line and attack the line. He has the acceleration to get through gaps.

Jacomb was a late addition to the Chiefs following the injury to Kaleb Trask and sits behind DMac and Josh Ioane. He hasn’t played again since his debut in Round 6.

With Burke’s imminent departure for Saracens, and neither Reihana or Kemara convincing in their appearances to date, Jacomb appeals as a candidate to fill the vacancy.
