Els brings consistent volume across both phases of the game, averaging over seven carries and eight tackles per match across 14 Currie Cup appearances. His carrying numbers show a player who takes the ball up with regularity rather than in bursts, while his tackle output underlines a strong defensive workload expected of a number 8. Peak performances of 13 carries and 16 tackles in a single game suggest he can raise his output significantly when the match demands it.
