Across his 10 United Rugby Championship appearances, Bateman's output is defined overwhelmingly by his defensive work, averaging close to five tackles per match and topping eleven in his best performance. His carrying contribution is modest in volume and gain, reflecting the controlled, tight-range role typical of a loosehead prop focused on set-piece and breakdown duties. When called upon with ball in hand, his numbers stay consistent rather than explosive, underlining a player whose value is measured in defensive reliability rather than attacking impact.
