Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Consistent carrier and reliable tackler

Zeilinga contributes steadily with ball in hand, averaging over five carries per match and consistently gaining ground through contact. His tackle count is notably high for a fly half, with a single-game peak of eleven suggesting he is not shy of defensive responsibility. Across five URC appearances he has shown a workmanlike consistency rather than explosive variance, pointing to a disciplined, team-first role player.
