[2] In July 2014, a video went viral of Labuschagné successfully kicking a penalty from 80m out during a training session at the University of the Free State.
[9] He made two more starts – against the Border Bulldogs in East London[10] and against Western Province in Bloemfontein[11] – but failed to score any points for his team.
He played at Under-21 level in the second half of the season, following up a start for the Free State U21 in their victory over the Sharks U21 team[12] with three appearances as a replacement.
[16] Labuschagné was included in the Cheetahs wider training group for the 2016 Super Rugby season,[17] but made no appearances in that competition.
[21] However, the 46 points he scored during the regular season – through tries against Leopards U21[22] and Eastern Province U21,[23] fifteen conversions and two penalties – made him his side's top scorer during the competition, and fifth overall.
