Across 98 matches Steenekamp has accumulated over 4900 minutes of action, reflecting a consistently high availability and durability rarely seen in tight forwards. His carry and tackle averages are modest on a per-game basis, but his single-game peaks — 10 carries and 17 tackles — reveal a player capable of stepping up his workload significantly when the contest demands it. The balance between his carrying and defensive output underlines a prop who contributes across both sides of the ball rather than specialising in one dimension.
