Theron's tackle output stands as his most defining trait, averaging close to five per match across Currie Cup and World Rugby U20 Championship football — a rate that points to a lock heavily invested in the defensive effort. His carrying numbers are modest but reliable, and his single-game peaks of 12 carries and 14 tackles suggest he can scale his workload significantly when the game demands it. Across 341 minutes he has shown consistency rather than flash, the kind of platform-building presence a lock is expected to provide.
