Across 90 matches Steenekamp has built a profile defined by defensive consistency, averaging 5.5 tackles per game with single-match peaks of 17 — figures that point to a prop who regularly outworks the expected scrummaging brief. His carrying numbers tell a similar story of dependable contribution rather than explosive bursts, accumulating over 500 metres on 353 carries and demonstrating the kind of sustained physical presence that shapes a forward pack over a full season. Two tries across that workload underline that his value lies firmly in the grind of the contest rather than in any attacking flourish.
