Van der Linde operates as a compact impact option off the bench, with his per-match numbers reflecting the focused, high-intensity windows typical of a replacement role. His try-scoring record across eight appearances stands out as a genuine threat when introduced, while his tackle contributions show he arrives ready to defend as well as carry.
