Viljoen operates as a replacement whose carries consistently gain meaningful ground, averaging over 20 metres per appearance and peaking at 49 metres in a single outing — a sign he can shift momentum when introduced. His tackle numbers are modest on a per-game basis, reflecting the limited minutes he is typically asked to cover, yet his best defensive performance of five tackles in one match shows he can contribute meaningfully in that phase when required.
