Across 32 matches Van Zyl operates as a measured, low-volume ball-carrier who picks his moments rather than forcing the issue, yet his tackle count tells a more physical story — consistently putting his body on the line in defence. His best single-game outputs of seven carries and six tackles in the same match suggest he can shift into a higher-impact role when the game demands it, making him a reliable and adaptable presence at the base of the scrum.
