Coming off the bench, Van Wyk consistently makes his presence felt on both sides of the ball, averaging over five tackles and five carries per appearance across Currie Cup and World Rugby U20 Championship action. His best outings show he can push well beyond those averages — peaking at 11 tackles and 25 metres from 8 carries in a single game — suggesting he raises his workload when the moment demands it. The consistency of his defensive numbers in particular points to a replacement who arrives with intent rather than simply running out the clock.
