Van Der Merwe has crossed for 7 tries across 16 appearances, underlining his ability to convert opportunity into points at the highest level. His carrying numbers are measured rather than dominant, averaging just over five carries per match, which reflects a wing role built on efficiency and positioning rather than volume. What stands out is his defensive contribution — averaging over three tackles per match with a single-game peak of seven — pointing to a player who is genuinely involved on both sides of the ball.
