De Buitlear's numbers tell the story of a player who makes his presence felt almost immediately after coming on, averaging close to ten tackles per appearance across his seven URC outings. His defensive output is the clear centrepiece of his game, while his carrying reflects a controlled, efficient role rather than a high-volume one. A peak of 23 tackles and 9 carries in a single match shows he is capable of stepping up his workload considerably when the game demands it.
