Van der Linde makes his appearances count, averaging close to two tackles per outing and contributing three tries across 14 matches despite typically entering the game from the bench. His carry numbers are modest per game, as expected from a replacement role, but his best performances show genuine physical threat — spiking to five carries for 54 metres in a single outing.
