Across 47 matches Van der Walt shows a steady carrying load typical of a fly half who prioritises structure over ball-in-hand aggression, averaging just over three carries per game while consistently banking metres for his side. What stands out is his defensive output — 155 tackles across the dataset points to a ten who is genuinely committed in the defensive line rather than one who drifts to the periphery. His peak performances, including 11 tackles and 13 carries in a single outing, confirm he can lift his work rate significantly when the game demands it.
