Across 25 matches du Plessis averages over four tackles per game, a notably high figure for a fly half that points to consistent defensive commitment rather than a player who hides at ten. His carrying numbers are modest but purposeful, with a single-game peak of 10 carries and 46 metres suggesting he can take the ball to the line when the moment demands it. The combination of defensive volume and selective ball-carrying reflects a controlled, system-driven approach to the pivot role.
