Across 26 matches Van Zyl demonstrates the disciplined, low-volume carrying profile typical of a scrum half who prioritises service over ball-in-hand ambition, averaging just over two carries per game. His tackle count tells a more telling story — consistent defensive contributions across nearly 1,200 minutes of action, with single-game peaks of six tackles underlining his willingness to put his body on the line close to the ruck. The two tries across this dataset hint at a player who picks his moments to attack rather than forcing opportunities.
