Pieterse's tackle numbers are the standout feature of his Currie Cup data, averaging 3.5 per appearance from a replacement role and peaking at 7 in a single outing — a significant return for someone rarely playing a full match. His carry output is modest but consistent, suggesting he is used primarily to stabilise and defend rather than carry the game forward. The pattern across six appearances points to a player deployed with a clear defensive brief.
