Across seven URC appearances, Basson's output is defined almost entirely by his defensive work, averaging three tackles per match while contributing minimally in the carry game. His best single-game showing of 12 tackles underlines that his primary function is as a disruptor in the collision channel rather than a ball-carrier. With just four carries recorded across all appearances, his role is narrowly but consistently focused on defensive contribution at set-piece and breakdown.
