Across 15 appearances as a replacement, dos Reis has built a profile defined almost entirely by his defensive output, averaging over four tackles per match and reaching double figures in a single game. His carry numbers are modest by design, reflecting the limited ball-in-hand opportunities that typically come with a bench role, though he has shown the capacity to contribute up to 17 metres in a single outing. The consistency of his tackle counts across both Challenge Cup and Currie Cup competition points to a player who makes an immediate defensive impact whenever introduced.
