Cronje's tackle numbers stand out immediately — averaging nearly seven per match across his URC appearances, with a single-game peak of 17, he carries a heavy defensive workload for a wide player. He is no passenger with ball in hand either, consistently gaining ground through his carries and showing the ability to make a significant territorial impact when given opportunity. His minutes and match involvement point to a player who contributes meaningfully on both sides of the ball throughout the contests he features in.
Born on 1 January 1997, Erich is 29 years old, stands 183cm (6′0″) tall and weighs 95kg.
