Scheepers combines an unusually high try-scoring return for a lock with reliable ball-carrying volume, suggesting he is used as an active, multi-phase forward who gets into attacking positions. His tackle numbers are equally substantial, pointing to a player who contributes across both sides of the ball in a demanding way. Peak performances of 15 carries and 16 tackles in a single match indicate he can reach an elite workload when required.
