Snyman's numbers tell the story of a lock defined by work rate rather than ball-carrying ambition — nearly eight tackles per match across 42 appearances points to a player who consistently puts defensive duty first. His carrying contribution is measured and positional, averaging just over three carries a game, though his single-game peaks of nine carries and 20 tackles show he can raise his output significantly when the match demands it. Over more than 2500 minutes across three competitions, that defensive consistency has been the clearest constant in his game.
