Across 56 matches Visagie has built a profile defined by defensive consistency, averaging 4.5 tackles per game with a single-match peak of 14 — figures that point to a hooker who regularly operates beyond the set piece. His carrying numbers are modest but purposeful, suggesting a player used in short, direct roles rather than as a primary ball-carrier. The try return adds a threat at close range, rounding out a profile built on reliability and workload across multiple competitions.
