Across 57 matches and nearly 1,730 minutes of action, Klopper's output is defined by consistency rather than volume — his per-game tackle numbers tell the story of a prop who reliably does the defensive heavy lifting. His best single-game returns of 13 tackles and 6 carries show he can step up when the contest demands more, even if his typical role keeps him anchored to the unglamorous but essential work of a tighthead. One try across this sample is exactly what you'd expect from a forward whose value lies in the collisions, not the scoreboard.
Born on 7 September 1999, Francois is 27 years old, stands 188cm (6′2″) tall and weighs 130kg.
