Jacobson made the New Zealand Schools team in 2014. He played for the New Zealand Under 20 team in 2016 and (as captain) in 2017. He made his Super Rugby debut in 2018.[2]
Jacobson made his All Blacks debut in July 2019, in the final quarter of a narrow 20–16 win against Argentina.[4] in the Rugby Championship. Following his second test, which was a 92–7 win over Tonga, Jacobson was named in New Zealand's squad for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, despite having around only 50 minutes' worth of international rugby. Jacobson did not play in the World Cup however, as he experienced a delayed onset of concussion symptoms. Shannon Frizell was called up as Jacobson's injury cover.[5] Jacobson was named in the 2021 All Blacks squad.
