Coming on as a replacement, Maartens consistently contributes both with ball in hand and in the defensive line, averaging nearly six tackles and over 36 metres per appearance across five Currie Cup matches. His best outings show a higher ceiling — peaking at 105 metres from eight carries and ten tackles in a single game — suggesting he can impose himself significantly when conditions allow. The try return adds a finishing dimension to what is primarily a physical, two-way game.
