Across 37 appearances as a replacement, Van Wyk has built a consistent record as a defensive contributor, averaging nearly four tackles per game and surpassing 140 in total — figures that point to an immediate impact whenever he enters the field. His carrying numbers are more modest, reflecting the limited ball-in-hand demands typically placed on a replacement forward, though his peak of eight carries and 12 tackles in a single match shows he can step up when the game requires more from him. Two tries across this sample add a finishing dimension to a profile defined primarily by work rate and defensive reliability.
