Across 20 appearances Van Zyl operates as a controlled, low-volume carrier who picks his moments rather than forcing the running game, averaging under two carries per match. His tackle numbers tell a more telling story — consistent defensive contribution at the base of the ruck that holds up across nearly 900 minutes of rugby. When the conditions demand it, his ceiling is clear: seven carries, 48 metres and six tackles in a single outing shows the range he can produce.
