Across 59 matches Fourie has built one of the most consistent defensive records in the dataset, averaging over seven tackles per game with a single-match peak of 20, marking him as a high-volume, reliable presence at the breakdown and in the line. His carry numbers are measured rather than dominant, but he contributes steadily with ball in hand across competitions ranging from the United Rugby Championship to the Rugby World Cup. Nine tries from 189 carries also indicate he finds the line when the opportunity arises, underlining a well-rounded rather than one-dimensional game.
