Snyman's output across nine URC appearances is defined above all by his defensive workload — averaging eight tackles per match and topping out at fourteen in a single game, he functions as a high-volume, reliable presence at the breakdown and in the line. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting a role built around physicality rather than ball-in-hand ambition, though his best carrying performances show he can contribute meaningfully when called upon. The consistency of his minutes and tackle counts paints a picture of a lock trusted to do the unglamorous, essential work that holds a forward pack together.
