Du Preez is a consistent ball-carrier who shoulders a heavy workload at the base of the pack, averaging over seven carries per match and eating up significant ground in the process. His tackle numbers are equally impressive, rarely dipping below six per game and peaking at 12, underlining a two-way commitment that makes him a reliable fixture in both phases. When the workload demands it, he can step up markedly, with single-game highs of 23 carries and 63 metres showing he has the engine to dominate on his best days.
