Across 15 matches Du Preez has been one of the most consistently involved forwards in the dataset, contributing heavily in both phases with over seven carries and seven tackles per game. His carrying threatens gainline metres reliably rather than in bursts, while his tackle numbers point to a player who shoulders significant defensive responsibility week to week. Peak performances of 23 carries and 14 tackles in single matches underline that his influence scales up markedly in high-demand fixtures.
