Hattingh's tackle numbers stand out immediately — averaging eight per match across five U20 Championship appearances points to a lock who is heavily involved in the defensive structure and rarely misses a shift. His carrying is steady rather than explosive, contributing just over ten metres a game, but his peak output of seven carries and fifteen metres in a single match shows he can step up when the team needs go-forward ball. Across nearly three hundred and fifty minutes of Championship rugby, his workload has been reliable and sustained.
