Across 46 matches Van der Walt shows a steady carrying load that reflects the controlled, territory-managing role expected of a fly half rather than a ball-carrier first. His tackle count is notably high for the position, and his best individual performances — peaking at 11 tackles and 13 carries in a single game — show he can shoulder a significantly heavier defensive and ball-in-hand burden when the game demands it. That combination of consistent workrate and the capacity to step up points to a reliable, all-weather operator at ten.
