Torsten George van Jaarsveld (born (1987-06-30 ) 30 June 1987) is a Namibian rugby union footballer. He plays mostly as a hooker or flanker. He represents Bayonne in the French Pro D2.

He made a further three appearances off the bench during the 2009 Vodacom Cup competition before he established himself as a first-team regular during the 2009 Currie Cup First Division, playing in eleven of their matches during the competition. He made his first start for the Pumas in their 47–12 victory over the Border Bulldogs in East London and scored his first points when he got two tries in their 95–14 victory over former side the Falcons in Kempton Park. However, he broke his leg in their semi-final match against the Mighty Elephants and missed the final and the promotion play-offs, which saw the Pumas promoted to the 2010 Currie Cup Premier Division at the expense of the Boland Cavaliers. However, Van Jaarveld did pick up a personal accolade, winning the Pumas’ Most Promising Player of the Year award.

In 2012, Van Jaarsveld was selected in a South African Barbarians (North) side that faced England during their 2012 tour of South Africa, suffering a 31–57 defeat.

He played in eight matches during the 2012 Vodacom Cup as they reached the semi-finals of this competition. He also played in eleven matches of their 2012 Currie Cup First Division season, which saw the Pumas reach the final of the competition, where they lost 26–25 in the final to the Eastern Province Kings.

Van Jaarsveld represented Pretoria-based university side UP Tuks in the inaugural edition of the Varsity Cup in 2008, scoring their third ever try in the competition late in their opening-day 31–31 draw against Maties. He made a total of eight appearances as he helped them to third spot on the log and a semi-final appearance in the competition, where they lost 44–47 to eventual winners Maties.

He was part of the Under-19 squad for the 2006 Under-19 Provincial Championship and the Under-21 squad for the Under-21 Provincial Championship in 2008.

His first class debut came after he joined Witbank-based side the Pumas for the 2008 Currie Cup First Division. He played off the bench in their 32–24 victory over the Mighty Elephants at the Adcock Stadium in Port Elizabeth, with a second appearance coming against the Leopards in Potchefstroom.

This proved to only be a minor setback to Van Jaarsveld’s career as he returned some five months later to play in the 2010 Vodacom Cup, making six appearances. He played in the Premier Division of the Currie Cup for the first time in 2010 and, after playing off the bench for the first four games, he started in seven consecutive matches and scoring his only try for the Pumas at this level in their match against Western Province in Cape Town before an ankle injury ruled him out for the remaining matches of the season. After playing a further six matches during the 2011 Vodacom Cup competition, he had another full season playing in the Currie Cup Premier Division in 2011, which saw the Pumas being relegated to the First Division after a league restructure saw the Premier Division being reduced from eight teams to six.
