Janeke's output across six matches is defined by his tackling volume — averaging over nine per game and peaking at 14 in a single outing, a workload that marks him as a reliable defensive presence in the front-row. His carrying is used sparingly but purposefully, with a best of 18 metres from four carries suggesting he picks his moments well rather than being a frequent ball-carrier. Across both Currie Cup and United Rugby Championship rugby, his minutes and tackle numbers point to a prop who earns his time through defensive consistency.
