Venter's output across six Currie Cup appearances is defined by his tackle volume — averaging over eight per match and peaking at thirteen in a single game, a rate that marks him as a primary defensive operator in the Cheetahs' forward pack. His carrying numbers are modest, suggesting his role centres on set-piece and defensive duties rather than ball-in-hand contribution. One try in the sample adds an attacking dimension, but the tackle count tells the clearest story about where he earns his minutes.
