Theron's output across 12 matches is defined by his work rate in the collisions, averaging nine tackles per game and reaching 19 in a single outing — figures that point to a Number 8 heavily relied upon to clean up around the ruck and make first contact in defence. His carrying is measured rather than prolific, contributing consistently without dominating possession, which suggests a role built around structure and physicality over individual ball-running. The combination of high tackle volume and steady minutes indicates a player trusted to do the unglamorous, high-impact work that keeps his team competitive at the breakdown.
Born on 8 February 2005, JJ is 21 years old, stands 193cm (6′4″) tall and weighs 90kg.
