Labuschagné was included in the Cheetahs wider training group for the 2016 Super Rugby season,[17] but made no appearances in that competition. Instead, he once again represented the Free State XV, this time in the 2016 Currie Cup qualification series that effectively replaced the Vodacom Cup. He made two starts; a start at inside centre in a 35–15 win against the Eastern Province Kings[18] was followed by a start at fullback against the other team form the Eastern Cape, the Border Bulldogs. Labuschagné scored his first senior points in this match, kicking two conversions in a 22–18 victory.[19] He was once again in action for the Free State U21 team in the 2016 edition of the Under-21 Provincial Championship, playing in all six of their matches during the regular season. The team finished in fourth spot on the log[20] to qualify for a semi-final, but Labuschagné did not feature in their 23–26 defeat to Western Province.[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.[24]
