Across 83 matches Hendrikse shows a disciplined, high-volume defensive workload, averaging three tackles per game with a single-match peak of nine, underlining his commitment to the breakdown and defensive line. His carrying numbers are modest by design — typical of a scrum half directing play rather than seeking metres — yet his best individual outings of nine carries and 45 metres show he can become a genuine ball-in-hand threat when the game demands it. Seven tries across the dataset reflect a halfback who times his runs into space selectively rather than opportunistically.
