Erasmus's tackle numbers stand out as the defining feature of his Currie Cup contribution, averaging close to six per match and reaching eight in his best outings — a load that points to a prop heavily relied upon for defensive grunt. His carrying is measured rather than prolific, suggesting his primary value to the Bulls comes through stopping ball carriers rather than generating go-forward. The consistency across five matches reinforces a player who brings reliable, low-variability effort to the tight exchanges.
