Uys is primarily a defensive operator, averaging close to five tackles per match across his United Rugby Championship appearances for Zebre — a workload that points to consistent front-foot defensive commitment at lock. His carrying numbers are modest, suggesting his value lies in the collisions he makes off the ball rather than with it. In his best outings he has reached double figures in tackles, underlining that his ceiling as a defensive contributor is a genuine asset at this level.
