Across 10 appearances as a replacement, Kruger's output is defined by his defensive reliability — averaging over four tackles per game with a single-match peak of 12, signalling he arrives with immediate defensive intent. His carrying is functional rather than prominent, contributing short, purposeful gains that reflect the controlled role of a bench forward. The consistency of those numbers across both Currie Cup and World Rugby U20 Championship rugby points to a player who executes a defined job with discipline.
