Across five U20 Championship appearances, Kruger has been a consistent presence at the breakdown and in defence, averaging over four-and-a-half tackles per match to underpin his team's defensive structure. His three tries from 23 carries show he is not merely a conduit — he finds the line when it matters. In his best outings he steps up his carry volume and metres meaningfully, suggesting he lifts when the game demands it.
