Across five Currie Cup appearances as a replacement, Loots has been used sparingly but purposefully, averaging just under a carry per game with a solid metres-per-carry return that suggests he makes his limited touches count. His tackle contribution is modest at this stage, pointing to a role focused primarily on carrying rather than defensive grunt. His best outing — three carries for 14 metres and two tackles — hints at the ceiling when given a slightly extended run.
