Across six Currie Cup appearances, dos Reis's output is defined by his work at the tackle line, averaging close to five tackles per match and peaking at eight in a single outing — a rate that points to a prop who earns his minutes through defensive reliability. His carrying role is modest and selective, suggesting he is deployed primarily to secure the set piece and front-foot defence rather than to generate go-forward ball. The minutes he accumulates reflect a player who contributes steadily within a structured forward effort.
