Across 53 matches, Kotze's tackle numbers stand out as the clearest indicator of his role — consistently present in the defensive line and contributing meaningfully in broken play. His carrying is measured rather than prominent, though single-game peaks of 5 carries and 36 metres show he can make an impact with ball in hand when called upon. Three tries across this sample reflect an occasional but genuine threat at close range, rounding out a profile built primarily on defensive dependability.
