Across three World Cup appearances, Van Der Merwe averaged over 57 metres per game with the ball in hand, pointing to a winger who is consistently asked to do heavy carrying work rather than simply finish. His tackle numbers are equally telling — nearly six per match — suggesting he pulls significant defensive weight for a back-three player. His best outing, 124 metres from 12 carries, shows he can dominate with the ball when given the opportunity.
