Across four appearances in the Challenge Cup and Currie Cup, Wentzel shows a strong defensive commitment for a fly half, averaging close to four tackles per match with a standout single-game effort of ten. His carrying is measured rather than frequent, suggesting he operates as a distributor first, with his runs used selectively to probe rather than dominate. The balance between his tackle count and modest metres gained points to a player who prioritises structure and defensive responsibility in his position.
